Where to be Careful
Caution
Do not spray any water at all near the
air intake duct.
The air intake duct is normally 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.
Caution
Use of high pressure spray washers is
not recommended.
When using pressure washers, water
may be forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
Avoid spraying water with any great
force near the following places:
• Instruments,
• Brake cylinders and brake calipers,
• Under the fuel tank,
• Air intake duct,
• Headstock bearings,
• Wheel bearings,
• Suspension seals and bearings.
Note
Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will
leave a residue on painted surfaces, and
may also cause water spotting.
Always use a low alkaline soap to aid
the cleaning process.
Washing
To wash the motorcycle, do the
following:
• Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use
a highly alkaline soap as commonly
found at commercial car washes
because it leaves a residue.
• 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 cold water.
