Information
Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches
and blemishes:
Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty
of water.
To remove stubborn stains, use diluted
detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty of
water.
Avoid getting gasoline, brake fluid, or
detergents on the instruments, panels, or
headlight.
When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
do not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.
