7After cleaning
1. Dry the scooter with a chamois
or an absorbing cloth.

chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust

induced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)

mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal, includ-
ing chrome- and nickel-plated,
surfaces.
