Washing Precautions
Follow these guidelines when washing:
●
Do not use high-pressure washers:
u
High-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
u
Water in the air intake can be drawn into
the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
●
Do not direct water at the muffler:
u
Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
●
Dry the brakes:
u
Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
●
Do not direct water under the seat:
u
Water in the under seat compartment
can damage your documents and other
belongings.
●
Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
u
Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
engine from starting.
●
Do not direct water near the headlight:
u
The headlight's inside lens may fog
temporarily after washing or while riding
in the rain. This does not impact the
headlight function.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
●
Do not use wax or polishing compounds on
mat painted surface:
u
Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of
water, and a mild detergent to clean mat
painted surfaces. Dry with a soft clean
cloth.
