CLEANING
Washing and Drying the Motorcycle
Before washing the motorcycle, always allow the engine to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not spray water on a hot
engine. Make sure the exhaust pipes have cooled. Cover each exhaust pipe opening with a plastic bag and attach the
bag to the pipe with a strong rubber band. To prevent contamination from water, check that the spark plugs, spark
plug wire caps, oil fill cap, and fuel caps are properly seated.
1. Park the motorcycle in the shade to prevent water spotting.
2. The engine cases are painted. If you choose to use a degreaser, follow the degreaser manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Rinse off as much dirt and mud as possible with water running at low pressure.
Notice Don’t use high water pressure or high-pressure sprayers such as those found at car washes. Excessive water
pressure may allow water to seep in and deteriorate wheel bearings, brake caliper assemblies, brake master
cylinders, electrical connectors, steering head bearings, and transmission seals.
Notice Electrical components may be damaged by contact with water. Do not spray or allow water to come into con-
tact with electrical components or connectors.
