Care
While the ope\f desig\f o\b a motorcycle
reveals the attractive\fess o\b the tech-
\fology, it also makes it more vul\fera-
ble. Rust a\fd corrosio\f ca\f develop
eve\f i\b high-quality compo\fe\fts are
used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go u\f-
\foticed o\f a car, however, it detracts
\brom the overall appeara\fce o\b a mo-
torcycle. Freque\ft a\fd proper care
does \fot o\fly comply with the terms o\b
the warra\fty, but it will also keep your
motorcycle looki\fg good, exte\fd its
li\be a\fd optimize its per\borma\fce.
Before cleaning 1. Cover the mu\b\bler outlet with a plastic bag a\bter the e\fgi\fe has
cooled dow\f.
2. Make sure that all caps a\fd cov- ers as well as all electrical cou-
plers a\fd co\f\fectors, i\fcludi\fg
the spark plug cap, are tightly i\f-
stalled. 3. Remove extremely stubbor\f dirt,
like oil bur\ft o\fto the cra\fkcase,
with a degreasi\fg age\ft a\fd a
brush, but \fever apply such prod-
ucts o\fto seals, gaskets, sprockets,
the drive chai\f a\fd wheel axles. Al-
ways ri\fse the dirt a\fd degreaser
o\b\b with water.
Cleaning
ECA10772
NOTICE
●Avoid using strong acidic
wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If such prod-
ucts are used on hard-to-re-
move dirt, do not leave the
cleaner on the affected area
any longer than instructed. Al-
so, thoroughly rinse the area
off with water, immediately dry
it, and then apply a corrosion
protection spray.
●Improper cleaning can damage
plastic parts (such as cowlings,
panels, windshields, headlight
lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and
the mufflers. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with wa- ter to clean plastic. However, if
the plastic parts cannot be
thoroughly cleaned with water,
diluted mild detergent with wa-
ter may be used. Be sure to
rinse off any detergent residue
using plenty of water, as it is
harmful to plastic p\5arts.
●Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.
●Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep-
age and deterioration in the fol-
lowing areas: seals (of wheel
and swingarm bearings, fork
and brakes), electric compo-
nents (couplers, connectors,
instruments, switches and
lights), breather hoses and
vents.
