Waxing the Motorcycle
After washing the motorcycle,
waxing and polishing are recom-
mended to further protect and
beautify the paint.
• Only use waxes and polishes
of good quality.
• When using waxes and pol-
ishes, observe the precautions
specified by the manufactur-
ers.
Special Care for Matte Finish
Paint
Do not use polishing compounds
or waxes that contain polishing
compounds on surfaces which
have a matte finish. The use of
polishing compounds will change
the appearance of the matte fin-
ish.
Solid type waxes may be difficult
to remove from surfaces with a
matte finish.
Friction while riding, excessive
rubbing or polishing of a surface
with a matte finish will change its
appearance.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
For extended life of your motorcy-
cle, lubricate it according to the
“LUBRICATION 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.
