Repair finish damage as soon
as possible. Carefully exam-
ine your motorcycle for dam-
age to the painted surfaces.
Should you find any chips or
scratches in the paint, touch
them up immediately to pre-
vent corrosion from starting. If
the chips or scratches have
gone through to the bare
metal, have a Suzuki dealer
make the repair.
•
Store your motorcycle in a dry,
well-ventilated area. If you
often wash your motorcycle in
the garage or if you frequently
park it inside when wet, your
garage may be damp. The
high humidity may cause or
accelerate corrosion. A wet
motorcycle may corrode even
in a heated garage if the venti-
lation is poor.
•
Cover your motorcycle. Expo-
sure to mid-day sun can cause
the colors in paint, plastic
parts, and instrument faces to
fade. Covering your motorcy-
cle with a high-quality, “breath-
able” motorcycle cover can
help protect the finish from the
harmful UV rays in sunlight,
and can reduce the amount of
dust and air pollution reaching
the surface. Your Suzuki
dealer can help you select the
right cover for your motorcycle.
MOTORCYCLE CLEANING
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE

wash soap using a sponge or
soft cloth. The sponge or cloth
should be frequently soaked in
the soap solution.
