Servicing Your Honda

Appearance Care
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep your Honda looking newer
longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an owner who values his
ATV.
A clean ATV is also easier to inspect and service.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 77.
To clean your ATV, you may use:
–water
a mild, neutral detergent and water
a mild spray and wipe cleaner/polisher
a mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser and water
Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical
solvents that could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your
ATV.
If your ATV is still warm from recent operation, give the engine
and exhaust system time to cool off.
Park in a shady area. Washing your ATV in bright sunlight may
cause the finish to fade because water droplets intensify the sun’s
brightness.
Spotting is also more likely because surface water can dry before
you have time to wipe it off.
Clean your ATV regularly to protect surface finishes.
We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash your ATV. High
pressure washers (like those at coin-operated car washers) can
damage certain parts of your ATV.
NOTICE
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of your ATV.
After cleaning, inspect for damage, wear, and leaks (fuel, oil and
brake fluid).
