Before washing
1. Park the vehicle out of direct sun-
light and allow it to cool. This will
help avoid water spots.
2. Make sure all caps, covers, electri-
cal couplers and connectors are
tightly installed.
3. Cover the muffler end with a plas-
tic bag and a strong rubber band.
4. Pre-soak stubborn stains like in-
sects or bird droppings with a wet
towel for a few minutes.
5. Remove road grime and oil stains
with a biodegradable degreaser
(YAMACLEAN Pro-Wash Spray)
and a plastic-bristle brush or
sponge.
NOTICE:
Do not use de-
greasing agent on areas requir-
ing lubrication such as seals,
gaskets, and wheel axles. Fol-
low product instructions.
[ECA26290]
Washing
1. Rinse off any degreaser and spray
down the vehicle with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. Avoid spraying water
directly into the muffler, instrument
panel, air inlet, or other inner areas
such as underseat storage com-
partments.
2. Wash the vehicle with a quality au-
tomotive-type detergent (YAMA-
LUBE Wash & Wax) mixed with
cool water and a soft, clean towel
or sponge. Use an old toothbrush
or plastic-bristle brush for
hard-to-reach places.
NOTICE:
Use cold water if the vehicle has
been exposed to salt. Warm wa-
ter will increase salt’s corrosive
properties.
[ECA26301]
3. For windshield-equipped vehicles:
Clean the windshield with a soft
towel or sponge dampened with
water and a pH neutral detergent.
If necessary, use a high-quality
windshield cleaner (YAMACLEAN
Glass Cleaner) or windshield pol-
ish.
NOTICE:
Never use any
strong chemicals to clean the
windshield. Additionally, some
cleaning compounds for plastic
may scratch the windshield, so
be sure to test all cleaning prod-
ucts before general applica-
tion.
[ECA26310]
4. Rinse off thoroughly with clean wa-
ter. Be sure to remove all deter-
gent residues, as they can be
harmful to plastic parts.
After washing
1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or
absorbent towel, preferably micro-
fiber terrycloth.
2. For drive chain-equipped models,
dry and then lubricate it to prevent
rust.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum, and stainless
steel parts. Often the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless steel
exhaust systems can be removed
through polishing.
4. Apply a corrosion protection spray
(YAMALUBE Silicone Protectant &
Lubricant) on all metal parts in-
cluding chrome or nickel-plated
surfaces.
WARNING! Do not ap-
ply silicone or oil spray to seats,
hand grips, rubber foot pegs or
tire treads. Otherwise these
parts will become slippery,
which could cause loss of con-
trol. Thoroughly clean the sur-
faces of these parts before
