Appearance Care
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 122.
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but may become stained by mud
or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then
rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available fine texture
compound. Then rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.
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.
Finishing Touches
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 122.
After washing your motorcycle, consider using a commercially available spray
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job. Use only a non-
abrasive polish or wax made specifically for motorcycles or automobiles. Apply
the polish or wax according to the instructions on the container.
If a surface on your motorcycle is chipped or scratched, your dealer has touch-
up paint to match your motorcycle’s color. Be sure to use your motorcycle’s
color code (page 219) when you buy touch-up paint.
If the frame has a chip that exposes the metal, first apply primer (to prevent
corrosion) and then apply the touch-up paint. Several thin layers of touch-up
paint are better than one thick coat.
