Caring
for
Your Scooter
Frequent cleaning and polishing
is
important
to
ensure the life
of
your Honda. A clean scooter
makes it easier
to
spot potential problems.
In
particular, seawater and
salts
used
to
prevent
ice
on roads promote the formation
of
corrosion. Always wash your scooter
thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated
roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts
to
cool before washing.
1.
Rinse
your scooter thoroughly using a garden
hose
to
remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary,
use
a sponge
or
a soft towel
with
mild cleaner
to
remove road grime.
~Clean
the headlight
lenses,
panels, and
other
plastic components
with
extra
care
to
avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air

muffler, and electrical parts.
3. Thoroughly rinse your scooter
with
plenty
of
clean water and dry
with
a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the scooter dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
~Make
sure
that
no lubricant spills
onto
the
brakes or tires. Brake
discs,
pads, drum or
shoes
contaminated
with
oil will suffer
greatly reduced braking effectiveness and
can
lead
to
a crash.
5.
Apply a coat
of
wax
to
prevent corrosion.
~Avoid
products
that
contain harsh
detergents or
chemical solvents.
These
can
damage the metal, paint, and plastic on
your scooter.
Keep
the wax clear
of
the tires and brakes.
~If
your scooter
has
any matte painted
parts, do
not
apply a coat
of
wax
to
the
matte painted surface.
