Maintenance and Adjustment
Cleaning of Exhaust System
All parts of the exhaust system of your
motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to
avoid a deterioration of its appearance.
Note:
• The exhaust system must be cool
before washing to prevent water
spotting.
Washing
• Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use
a high alkaline content soap as
commonly found at commercial car
washes because it leaves a residue.
• Wash the exhaust system with a soft
cloth. Do not use an abrasive
scouring pad or steel wool. They will
damage the finish.
• Rinse the exhaust system
thoroughly.
• Ensure no soap or water enters the
exhausts.
Drying
• Dry the exhaust system completely
with a soft cloth. Do not run the
engine to dry the system or spotting
will occur.
Protecting
• When the exhaust system is dry, rub
'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect'
into the surface.
• It is recommended that regular
protection be applied to the system
as this will both protect and enhance
the system's appearance.
Caution
The use of products containing silicone will
cause discoloration of the chrome and
must not be used. Similarly, the use of
abrasive cleaners and polishes will damage
the system and must not be used.
