Caring for Your Motorcycle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean
motorcycle makes it easier to spot potential
problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion.
Always wash your motorcycle thoroughly after
riding on coastal or treated roads.
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1. Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel with
mild cleaner to remove road grime.
u
Clean the headlight lens, panels, and other
plastic components with extra care to avoid
scratching them. Avoid directing water into
the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.
3. Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle with plenty
of clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4. After the motorcycle dries, lubricate any
moving parts.
u
Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the
brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads, drum or
shoes contaminated with oil will suffer
greatly reduced braking effectiveness and
can lead to a crash.
5. Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the motorcycle.
6. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These can
damage the metal, paint, and plastic on
your motorcycle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.
u
If your motorcycle has any mat painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the mat
painted surface.
