140 Servicing Your Honda
Appearance Care
Clean the Matte Painted Surface
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 72.
Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of water, and a mild detergent to clean the
matte paint. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Do not use polishing compounds or wax containing polishing compounds.
These can damage or discolor the paint.
To keep your Honda looking new, clean and polish it frequently.
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 72.
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.
Finishing Touches
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 72.
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 173) 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.
