Cleaning of the Exhaust System
All parts of the exhaust system of your
motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to
avoid a deterioration of its appearance.
These instructions can be applied to
chrome, brushed stainless steel and
carbon fiber components alike.
Note:
•
The exhaust system must be cool
before washing to prevent water
spotting.
Washing
Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use a
highly alkaline soap as commonly found
at commercial car washes because it
leaves a residue.
Wash the exhaust system with a soft
cloth. Do not use an abrasive scouring
pad or steel wool. They will damage the
finish.
Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.
Ensure no soap or water enters the
exhausts.
Drying
Dry the exhaust system as far as
possible with a soft cloth. Do not run
the engine to dry the system or
spotting will occur.
Protecting
When the exhaust system is dry, rub
'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect' into the
surface.
Caution
The use of products containing silicone
will cause discoloration of the chrome
and must not be used. Similarly, the
use of abrasive cleaners will damage
the system and must not be used.
It
is
recommended
that
regular
protection be applied to the system as
this will both protect and enhance the
system's appearance.
Windshield Cleaning
Warning
Never attempt to clean the windshield
while the motorcycle is in motion as
releasing the handlebars may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Operation of the motorcycle with a
damaged or scratched windshield will
reduce the rider's forward vision. Any
such reduction in forward vision is
dangerous and may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Caution
Corrosive chemicals such as battery
acid will damage the windshield. Never
allow corrosive chemicals to contact
the windshield.
