Waxing the Motorcycle
After washing the motorcycle,
waxing is recommended to further
protect and beautify the paint.
Observe the precautions speci-
fied by the wax manufacturer.
Special Care for Matte Finish
Paint
•
Do not use polishing com-
pounds or waxes that contain
polishing compounds on sur-
faces which have a matte fin-
ish. The use of polishing
compounds will change the
appearance of the matte finish.
• Solid type waxes may be diffi-
cult to remove from surfaces
with a matte finish.
• Excessive rubbing or polish-
ing of a surface with a matte
finish will change its appear-
ance.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
For extended life of your motorcy-
cle, lubricate according to “GEN-
ERAL LUBRICATION” section.
Follow the procedures in the
“INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”
section to check your motorcycle
for any problems that may have
arisen during your last ride.
