CORROSION PREVENTION
It is important to take good care of
your motorcycle to protect it from
corrosion and keep it looking new
for years to come.
Important Information About
Corrosion
Common causes of corrosion
• Accumulation of road salt, dirt,
moisture, or chemicals in hard-
to-reach areas.
• Chipping, scratches, and any
damage to treated or painted
metal surfaces resulting from
minor accidents or impacts
from stones and gravel.
Road salt, sea air, industrial pollu-
tion, and high humidity will all con-
tribute to corrosion.
How to Help Prevent Corrosion
• Wash your motorcycle fre-
quently, at least once a month.
Keep your motorcycle as clean
and dry as possible.
• Remove foreign material
deposits. Foreign material
such as road salt, chemicals,
road oil or tar, tree sap, bird
droppings and industrial fall-
out may damage your motor-
cycle’s finish. Remove these
types of deposits as quickly as
possible. If these deposits are
difficult to wash off, an addi-
tional cleaner may be required.
Follow the manufacturer’s
directions when using these
special cleaners.
