Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or
detergents on the instruments, panels, or
headlights.
When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
do not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.
Storing Your Scooter
If you store your scooter outdoors, you should
consider using a full-body motorcycle cover.
If you won’t be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
●
Wash your scooter and wax all painted
surfaces (except matte painted surfaces).
Coat chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
●
Place your scooter on its centre stand and
position a block so that both tyres are off the
ground.
●
After rain, remove the body cover and allow
the scooter to dry.
●
Remove the battery (

P. 62) to prevent
discharge.
Charge the battery in a shaded, well-
ventilated area.

If you leave the battery in place,
disconnect the negative

terminal to
prevent discharge.
