cleaning, use Yamaha Windshield
Cleaner or another high-quality wind-

1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum, and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the vehicle dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.

help remove the moisture from the
lens.
