WAXING THE MOTORCYCLE
After washing the motorcycle, waxing
and polishing are recommended to
further protect and beautify the paint.
• Only use waxes and polishes of
good quality.
• When using waxes and polishes,
observe the precautions specified
by the manufacturers.
SPECIAL CARE FOR MATTE
FINISH PAINT
Do not use polishing compounds or
waxes that contain polishing com-
pounds on surfaces which have a
matte finish. The use of polishing
compounds will change the appear-
ance of the matte finish.
Solid type waxes may be difficult to
remove from surfaces with a matte
finish.
Friction while riding, excessive rub-
bing or polishing of a surface with a
matte finish will change its appear-
ance.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
For extended life of your motorcycle,
lubricate it according to the “LUBRI-
CATION POINTS” section.
Follow the procedures in the
“INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”
section to check your motorcycle for
any problems that may have arisen
during your last ride.
 WARNING
Operating the motorcycle with wet
brakes can be hazardous. Wet
brakes may not provide as much
stopping power as dry brakes.
This could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes after washing the
motorcycle, while riding at slow
speed. If necessary, apply the
brakes several times to let friction
dry out the linings.
