vEHICLE WASHING
Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down color fading of its body and make it
easier to check if there is any damage and any oil leakage.
1. After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to remove
dirty residues so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies should be
cleaned by wiping with a cloth or foam soaked in neutral detergent solution,
followed by washing with clean water.
2. After the cleaned vehicle is air dried, grease chain and run engine at idling
speed for a few minutes.
3. Prior to driving, carefully check braking system repeatedly and repair or
adjust it if necessary.
CAUTION
Washing the motorcycle with over-pressurized water may cause damage to
some of its components. Therefore, do not use a pressure washer to clean
the vehicle. The following parts should be cleaned using low pressure
water:
— Wheel hub
— Exhaust pipe
— Fuel tank and lower portion of cushion
— Carburetor
— Head lock and ignition switch
— Meters
