Finishing Touches
After washing your motorcycle, consider
using a commercially-available spray
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to
finish the job. Use only a non-abrasive polish
or wax made specifically for motorcycles or
automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the
container.
If a surface on your motorcycle is chipped or
scratched, your Honda dealer has touch-up
paint to match your motorcycle's colour. Be
sure to use your motorcycle's colour code
(page 70) when you buy touch-up paint.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in seawater and the road
surface freezing prevention substance which
roads are sprayed with in winter, causes rust.
Wash your motorcycle following the points
listed below when your motorcycle has been
exposed to these conditions.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water
(page 112).
Do not use warm water. This worsens the
effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and the metal surfaces
protected with wax
