Information
Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
uWater in the air cleaner can prevent
the engine from starting.

Do not use wax or polishing compounds
on unpainted carbon surfaces:
uUse a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of
water, and a mild detergent to clean
carbon surfaces. Dry with a soft clean
cloth.
Aluminum and magnesium will corrode from
contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean
aluminum parts and magnesium wheels
regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid
scratches:
Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives.
If the magnesium wheel is scratched,
remove dirt and apply a repair coating
over the scratch.
Avoid riding over or scraping against
curbs.
The frame and swingarm do not have a
surface treatment. To avoid corrosion, wipe
remaining water completely after washing.
Do not use a corroded magnesium wheel.
If the magnesium wheel is heavily
corroded, replace the wheel with a new
one.
To avoid corrosion of magnesium
components (especially for wheel and
engine covers), wipe remaining water
