Appearance Care
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance
Refer to
Safety Precautions
on page 154 .
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.
Finishing Touches
Refer to
Safety Precautions
on page 154 .
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 dealer has touch-
up paint to match your motorcycle’s color. Be sure to use your motorcycle’s
color code ( page 253 ) 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.
