Washing Precautions
Follow these guidelines when washing:
Do not use high-pressure washers:
u High-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
u Water in the air intake can be drawn into
the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
Do not direct water to the inside the right
side cover and under the seat:
u Water in the right side cover and under
seat compartment can damage your
documents and other belongings.
Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
engine from starting.
Do not direct water near the headlight:
u The headlight's inside lens may fog
temporarily after washing or while riding
in the rain. This does not impact the
headlight function.
u
Any condensation inside the headlight
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine with the headlight(s)
on.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
Do not use wax or polishing compounds on
matte painted surfaces:
u Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of
water, and a mild detergent to clean
matte painted surfaces. Dry with a soft
clean cloth.
