motorcycle will not only enhance its ap-
pearance but will improve its general
performance and extend the useful life
of many components.

with a garden hose.
EUU34602
CAUTION:_Excessive hose pressure may cause
water seepage and deterioration of
wheel bearings, front fork, brakes,
transmission seals and electrical
parts.2. After cleaning the motorcycle, dry
all surfaces with a chamois, clean
towel, or soft absorbent cloth.

start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes.

deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning
the motorcycle, prepare for storage as
follows:

carburetor float bowl(s).
2. Lubricate all control cables.
3. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
4. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust
pipe outlet to prevent moisture
from entering.

mosphere, coat all exposed metal
surfaces with a light film of oil. Do
not apply oil to any rubber parts or
the seat cover.6. Remove the battery and charge it.
