Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches and
blemishes:
●
Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty of
water.
●
To remove stubborn stains, use diluted
detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty of
water.
●
Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or detergents
on the instruments, panels, or headlight.
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 Motorcycle
If you store your motorcycle 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 motorcycle and wax all painted
surfaces (except mat painted surfaces).
Coat chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
●
Lubricate the drive chain.
