Cleaning of Chrome and
Stainless Steel Items
All chrome and stainless steel parts
of your motorcycle must be cleaned
regularly to avoid a deterioration of its
appearance.
Washing
Wash as previously described.
Drying
Dry the chrome and stainless steel
parts as far as possible with a soft cloth
or chamois leather.
Protecting
Caution
The use of products containing
silicone will cause discoloration of the
chrome and stainless steel parts and
must not be used.
The use of abrasive cleaning products
will damage the finish and must not be
used.
When the chrome and stainless steel is
dry, apply a suitable proprietary chrome
cleaner on to the surface, following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
It is recommended that regular
protection be applied to the motorcycle
as this will both protect and enhance its
appearance.
Black Chrome
Items such as headlight bowls and
mirrors on some models must be
correctly cleaned to preserve their
appearance. Please contact your dealer
if you are unsure which components
on your motorcycle are black chrome
parts. Maintain the appearance of
black chrome items by rubbing a small
amount of light oil into the surface.
