Motorcycle cleaner ( p. 183)
Info
Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge. Never
apply motorcycle cleaner to a dry vehicle; always rinse the vehicle with water
first.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water
enhances the corrosive effects of salt.
