CLEANING AND STORAGE
151
Where to be Careful
Caution
Do not use high pressure spray
washers or steam cleaners.
Use of high pressure spray washers
and steam cleaners may damage
seals, and cause water and steam
to be forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
Caution
Do not spray any water at all near the
air intake duct.
The air intake duct is located under
the rider’s seat, under the fuel tank or
near the steering head.
Any water sprayed in this area could
enter the airbox and engine, causing
damage to both items.
Do not get water near the following
places:
▼ Air and any intake duct
▼ Any visible electrical components
▼ Brake cylinders and brake calipers
▼ Handlebar switch housings
▼ Steering head bearings
▼ Instruments
▼ Oil filler cap
▼ Rear bevel box breather (if equipped)
▼ Rear of headlights
▼ Seats
▼ Suspension seals and bearings
▼ Under the fuel tank
▼ Wheel bearings.
Washing
To wash the motorcycle, do the
following:
▼ Make sure that the motorcycle
engine is cold.
▼ Prepare a mixture of clean, cold
water and mild automotive cleaner
or low alkaline soap.
▼ Do not use a highly alkaline soap
as commonly found at commercial
car washes because it will leave a
residue on painted surfaces and
may also cause water spotting.
▼ Wash the motorcycle with a sponge
or soft cloth.
▼ Do not use abrasive scouring pads
or steel wool. They will damage the
finish.
▼ Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly
with clean, cold water.
