Washing Your Motorcycle with a Mild Detergent
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.
5 .Dry your motorcycle with a soft towel.
Lubricate the drive chain to prevent rusting.
6. Start the engine and let it idle for several minutes. The engine heat
will help dry moist areas.
As a precaution, ride at a slow speed and apply the brakes several
times. This will help dry the brakes and restore normal braking
performance.
We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash your motorcycle.

motorcycle. If you use a high pressure washer, avoid spraying the
following areas:
