3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom- mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal clean- er to remove any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry completely before storing or covering it.

The figures quoted are emission levels
and are not necessarily safe working
levels. Whilst there is a correlation be-
tween the emission and exposure lev-
els, this cannot be used reliably to
determine whether or not further pre-
cautions are required. Factors that in-
fluence the actual level of exposure of
work-force include the characteristics
of the work room, the other sources of
noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines
and other adjacent processes, and the
length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permis-
sible exposure level can vary from
country. This information, however, will
enable the user of the machine to make
a better evaluation of the hazard and
risk.
