Special care is needed for cleaning
the windshield and sidebags on this
model. Be sure to follow the instruc-
tions below.
Cleaning the windshield
Avoid using any alkaline or strong acid
cleaner, gasoline, brake fluid, or any
other solvent. Clean the windshield with
a cloth or sponge dampened with a
neutral detergent, and after cleaning,
thoroughly wash it off with water. For
additional cleaning, use Yamaha Wind-
shield Cleaner or other quality cleaner.
Some cleaning compounds for plastics
may leave scratches on surfaces of the
windshield. Before using them, make a
test by polishing an area which does
not affect your visibility.
Cleaning the sidebags
Water can be harmful to untreated
leather. Use Yamaha Saddle Soap or
another quality brand according to the
manufacturer’s directions to clean the
leather on the sidebags. Polish the dry
leather with a soft cloth, and then treat
with Yamaha Mink Oil or another high-
quality leather protectant for increased
water resistance.
