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.
Storing Your Motorcycle
If you store your motorcycle outdoors, you
should consider using a full-body motorcycle
cover.
If you won’t be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
●
Wash your motorcycle and wax all painted
surfaces (except mat painted surfaces).
Coat chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
●
Lubricate the drive chain.
