torcycle will not only enhance its appear-
ance but will improve its general perfor-
mance and extend the useful life of many
components.

garden hose.EUU34602cCExcessive hose pressure may cause water
seepage and deterioration of wheel bear-
ings, 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.3. Dry the chain and lubricate it to pre-
vent rust.

to all painted and chrome-plated sur-
faces. When finished, start the engine
and let it idle for several minutes.

tion. After thoroughly cleaning the motor-
cycle, prepare for storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and car-
buretor float bowl(s).
2. Remove the empty fuel tank, pour a
