1. Cover or plug the exhaust outlet prior to washing your ATV.
2. Rinse your ATV thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt.
3. Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild, neutral detergent,
such as dish washing liquid or a product made especially for
washing motorcycles or automobiles.
4. Wash your ATV with a sponge or soft towel. As you wash, check
for heavy grime. If necessary, use a mild cleaner/degreaser to
remove the grime.
5. After washing, rinse your ATV thoroughly with plenty of clean
water to remove any residue. Detergent residue can corrode alloy
parts.
6. Dry your ATV with a chamois or a soft towel. Leaving water on
the surface to air dry can cause dulling and water spots. As you
dry, inspect for chips and scratches.
7. Remove the cover or the plug from exhaust outlet. Then, start the
engine and let it idle for several minutes. The engine heat will
help dry moist areas.
8. As a precaution, ride your ATV at a slow speed and apply the
brakes several times. This will help dry the brakes and restore
normal braking performance.
The headlight’s inside lens may fog temporarily after washing or
while riding in the rain. This does not impact the headlight
function.
Any condensation inside the headlight should dissipate after a
few minutes of running the engine with the headlight(s) on.
However, if you see a large amount of water or ice accumulated
inside the lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by your dealer.
