Caring for Your Scooter
Caring for Your Scooter
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important
to ensure the life of your Honda. A clean
scooter makes it easier to spot potential
problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to
prevent ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your scooter
thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated
roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
washing.
1.
Rinse your scooter thoroughly using a
garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
a
Clean the headlight lens, panels, and
other plastic components with extra care
to avoid scratching them. Avoid directing
water into the air cleaner, muffler, and
electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your scooter with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the scooter dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
a
Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tyres. Brake disc or pads
contaminated with oil will suffer greatly
reduced braking effectiveness and can
lead to a crash.
5.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
a
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your scooter.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and
brakes.
a
If your motorcycle has any matte painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
matte painted surface.
