Appearance Care
• We recommend the use of a low pressure
garden hose to wash your motorcycle. High
pressure washers (like those at coin-operated
car washes) can damage certain parts of your
motorcycle. If you use a high pressure
washer, avoid spraying the following areas:
• wheel hubs
• muffler outlet
• area under seat
• engine stop button
• brake master cylinder
• under fuel tank
• drive chain
• throttle body
High pressure water (or air) can damage
certain parts of your motorcycle.
1. Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with cool
water to remove loose dirt.
2. Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild,
neutral detergent, such as dish washing liquid
or a product made especially for washing
motorcycles or automobiles.
3. Wash your motorcycle with a sponge or a
soft towel. As you wash, check for heavy
grime. If necessary, use a mild cleaner/
degreaser to remove the grime.
4. After washing, rinse your motorcycle
thoroughly with plenty of clean water to
remove any residue. Detergent residue can
corrode alloy parts.
