Washing the Motorcycle

Before Washing

1. Make sure exhaust pipes are cool. Cover each pipe opening with a plastic bag secured with a strong rubber band.
2. Check that the spark plugs, spark plug wire caps, oil fill cap and fuel caps are properly seated.
3. Rinse off as much dirt and mud as possible with water running at low pressure. Use as little water as possible
when washing near the air cleaner or the exhaust pipe openings. Dry these components thoroughly before using
the motorcycle.
4. Clean the front fork tubes thoroughly to reduce fork seal wear and leakage.
5. After washing, remove the rubber bands and plastic bags from the exhaust pipes. Start the engine and let it idle
for a few minutes. Make sure the brakes are functioning properly before riding.
NOTICE: Do not use pressurized water to wash the motorcycle. Water may seep in and deteriorate wheel bearings, brake caliper
assemblies, brake master cylinders, electrical connectors, steering head bearings, and transmission seals. Do not
direct any water stream at air intakes, exhaust outlets or electrical connectors.
NOTICE: Electrical components may be damaged by water. Do not allow water to contact electrical components or connectors.
NOTICE: Do not use glass cleaners, water or soil repellents, and petroleum or alcohol based cleaners on the windshield, as
these products can damage the windshield.
