Servicing Your Honda
Washing Your Honda MUV with a Mild Detergent
Refer to
Safety Precautions
on page 79.
1. Rinse your Honda MUV 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 MUV with a sponge or soft towel. As you wash,
check for heavy grime. If nec
essary, use a mild cleaner/degreaser to
remove the grime.
4. After washing, rinse your Honda MUV thoroughly with plenty of
clean water to remove any residue. Detergent residue can corrode
alloy parts.
5. Dry your Honda MUV 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 l
et it idle for several minutes. The engine heat
will help dry moist areas.
7. As a precaution, drive your Honda MUV 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.
