Improper cleaning can damage
the windshield, cowlings, pan-
els and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent and
water to clean plastic. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
pound after washing.
●
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Make
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

Before cleaning the motorcycle
1. Cover the muffler outlets, to pre-
vent water entry, with plastic bags
and strong rubber bands.
2. Make sure that the spark plugs
and all caps and covers are prop-
erly installed.
3. Apply Yamaha Mud and Grease
Release or another high-quality
degreaser to the crankcase, to re-
move any excessive grease, with
a paintbrush. Do not apply de-
greaser to the wheel axles.
