Servicing Your Honda 192
Appearance Care
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 107.
After washing your ATV, 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 ATV is chipped or scratched, your dealer has
touch-up paint to match your ATV’s color. Be sure to use your ATV’s
color code (page 231) when you buy touch-up paint.
If the frame has a chip that exposes the metal, first apply primer (to
prevent corrosion) and then apply the touch-up paint. Several thin
layers of touch-up paint are better than one thick coat.
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but may become
stained by mud or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen
abrasive, then rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft
towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available
fine texture compound. Then rinse by the same manner as removing
mud or dust.
