Cover your motorcycle.
Years of exposure to mid-day sun can
cause the colors in paint, plastic parts,
and instrument faces to fade. Covering
your motorcycle with a high-quality,
“breathable” motorcycle cover can help
protect the finish from the harmful UV
rays in sunlight, and can reduce the
amount of dust and air pollution reach-
ing the surface. Your authorized Suzuki
dealer can help you select the right
cover for your motorcycle.

may use a soft sponge or brush. Do
not use hard materials which can
scratch the paint.

mild detergent or car wash soap

sponge or cloth should be fre-
quently soaked in the soap solu-
tion.
