CLEANING YOUR SCOOTER
Cleaning
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the surface finishes and inspect for damage, wear, and oil, coolant or brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically designed for scooter, motorcycle, or automobile surfaces. Nonspecific cleaners may contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents that could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter.
NOTE: If your scooter is still warm from recent operation, give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off before washing. Avoid the
use of high pressure water spray (typical in coin-operated car washes), as the powerful spray can damage components on your scooter.
Washing your scooter
1. Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to remove any loose dirt.
2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water. Avoid directing water at muffler outlets and electrical parts.
3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently, rinsing it
frequently with fresh water. Take care to keep brake fluid or other chemical solvents away from the scooter, as they will damage the plastic and
painted surfaces.
4. After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with plenty of clean water. This rinsing is required to remove detergent residue which can corrode
alloy parts.
5. Dry the scooter and then start the engine, allowing it to run for several minutes.
6. Test the brakes before riding the scooter. Several applications of the brakes may be necessary to restore normal braking performance.
NOTE: The inside of the headlight lens may become clouded immediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensation inside the
headlight lens will disappear gradually as it is heated by the headlight. After washing, run the
engine while keeping the headlight on to dissipate any condensation.
NOTE: Due to water on the brake components, braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired
immediately after washing the scooter. Anticipate longer stopping distances to avoid a possible
accident.
