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 low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
u Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,
panels, and other plastic components
with extra care to avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
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.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tyres. 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.
u
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 tyres and brakes.
u If your scooter has any mat painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
mat painted surface.
