Appearance Care
• After cleaning, inspect for damage, wear, and leaks (fuel, oil,
coolant and brake fluid).
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 91.
1.
Rinse your Honda SXS 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 Honda SXS with a sponge or 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 Honda SXS thoroughly with plenty of
clean water to remove any residue. Detergent residue can
corrode alloy parts.
5.
Dry your Honda SXS with a chamois or a soft towel. Leaving
water on the surface to air dry can cause dulling and water spots.
As you dry, inspect for chips and scratches.
6.
Start the engine and let it idle for several minutes. The engine
heat will help dry moist areas.
7.
As a precaution, drive your Honda SXS at a slow speed and apply
the brakes several times. This will help dry the brakes and restore
normal braking performance.
If the inside of the headlight lens appears clouded immediately
after washing, it should clear after a few minutes of operation.
