Preparation for Washing
Before washing, precautions must be
taken to keep water off the following
places.
Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover
with a plastic bag secured with rubber
bands.
Clutch and brake levers, switch housings
on the handlebar: Cover with plastic
bags.
Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover
the keyhole with tape.
Remove any items of jewelry such as
rings, watches, zips or belt buckles,
which may scratch or otherwise damage
painted or polished surfaces.
Use separate cleaning sponges or
cleaning cloths for washing painted/
polished surfaces and chassis areas.
Chassis areas (such as wheels and
under fenders) will be exposed to more
abrasive road grime and dust, which
may then scratch painted or polished
surfaces, if the same sponge or cleaning
cloths are used.
Where to be Careful
Caution
Do not use high pressure spray
washers or steam cleaners.
Use of high pressure spray washers
and steam cleaners may damage
seals, and cause water and steam
to be forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
Caution
Do not spray any water at all near the
air intake duct.
The air intake duct is normally located
under the rider’s seat, under the fuel
tank or near the steering head.
Any water sprayed in this area could
enter the airbox and engine, causing
damage to both items.
