Where to be Careful
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 steer-
ing head. Any water sprayed in this
area could enter the airbox and engine,
causing damage to both items.
Caution
Use of high pressure spray washers is
not recommended. When using pres-
sure washers, water may be forced
into bearings and other components
causing premature wear from corro-
sion and loss of lubrication.
Avoid spraying water with any great
force near the following places:
• Instruments;
• Brake cylinders and brake calipers;
• Under the fuel tank;
• Air intake duct;
• Headstock bearings;
• Wheel bearings.
Note:
• Use of soaps that are highly alka-
line will leave a residue on painted
surfaces, and may also cause water
spotting. Always use a low alkaline
soap to aid the cleaning process.
Washing
Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use a
highly alkaline soap as commonly found
at commercial car washes because it
leaves a residue.
Wash the motorcycle with a sponge or
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring
pads or steel wool. They will damage the
finish.
Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly with
cold water.
