Waxing the Motorcycle
After washing the motorcycle,
waxing is recommended to further
protect and beautify the paint.
Observe the precautions speci-
fied by the wax manufacturer.
Special Care for Matte Finish
Paint
• Do not use polishing com-
pounds or waxes that contain
polishing compounds on sur-
faces which have a matte fin-
ish. The use of polishing
compounds will change the
appearance of the matte finish.
• Solid type waxes may be diffi-
cult to remove from surfaces
with a matte finish.
• Excessive rubbing or polish-
ing of a surface with a matte
finish will change its appear-
ance.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
For extended life of your motorcy-
cle, lubricate according to “GEN-
ERAL LUBRICATION” 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
Wet brakes can cause poor
braking performance and may
lead to an accident.
Avoid a possible accident by
expecting longer stopping dis-
tances after washing your
motorcycle. Apply brakes sev-
eral times to let heat dry the
brake pads or shoes.
