CORROSION PREVENTION
It is important to take good care of
your motorcycle to protect it from cor-
rosion 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 pollution,
and high humidity will all contribute to
corrosion.
How to Help Prevent Corrosion
• Wash your motorcycle frequently,
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 additional cleaner
may be required. Follow the man-
ufacturer’s directions when using
these special cleaners.
