Information
Caring for Your Vehicle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle makes it easier to spot potential problems. In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion. Always wash your vehicle thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated roads.
Washing: Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
- Rinse your vehicle thoroughly using a low pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
- If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
- Clean the windscreen, headlight lens, panels, and other plastic components with extra care to avoid scratching them. Avoid directing water into the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.
- Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
- After the vehicle dries, lubricate any moving parts.
- Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the brakes or tires. Brake discs, pads, drum or shoes contaminated with oil will suffer greatly reduced braking effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
- Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
- Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents. These can damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your vehicle. Keep the wax clear of the tires and brakes.
- If your vehicle has any matte painted parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the matte painted surface.
Washing Precautions - Follow these guidelines when washing:
- Do not use high-pressure washers:
- High-pressure water cleaners can damage moving parts and electrical parts, rendering them inoperable.
- Water in the air intake can be drawn into the throttle body and/or enter the air cleaner.
- Do not direct water at the muffler:
- Water in the muffler can prevent starting and causes rust in the muffler.
- Dry the brakes:
- Water adversely affects braking effectiveness. After washing, apply the brakes intermittently at low speed to help dry them.
- Do not direct water under the seat:
- Water in the under seat compartment can damage your documents and other belongings.
- Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
- Water in the air cleaner can prevent the engine from starting.
- Do not direct water near the headlight:
- The headlight's inside lens may fog temporarily after washing or while riding in the rain. This does not impact the headlight function. However, if you see a large amount of water or ice accumulated inside the lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by your dealer.
- Do not use wax or polishing compounds on matte painted surface:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of water, and a mild detergent to clean matte painted surfaces. Dry with a soft clean cloth.
Aluminum Components: Aluminum will corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean aluminum parts regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid scratches:
- Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing abrasives.
- Avoid riding over or scraping against curbs.
Panels
Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches and blemishes:
- Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty of water.
- To remove stubborn stains, use diluted detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
- Avoid getting gasoline, brake fluid, or detergents on the instruments, panels, or headlight.
Windscreen
- Using plenty of water, clean the windscreen with a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner on the windscreen.) Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
- NOTICE: To avoid possible scratching or other damage, use only water and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the windscreen.
- For a dirtier windscreen, use a diluted neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty of water. Make sure to wash off all the detergent. (Detergent residue may cause windscreen cracks.)
- Replace the windscreen if scratches cannot be removed and they obstruct clear vision.
- Take care to keep battery electrolyte, brake fluid, or other chemical solvents off the windscreen and screen garnish. They will damage the plastic.
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
- When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, do not use a commercially available abrasive kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral detergent to clean the painted surface on the exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, contact your dealer.
Storing Your Vehicle
If you store your vehicle outdoors, you should consider using a full-body cover. If you won't be riding for an extended period, follow these guidelines:
- Wash your vehicle and wax all painted surfaces (except matte painted surfaces). Coat chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
- Place your vehicle on its center stand and position a block so that both tires are off the ground.
- After rain, remove the body cover and allow the vehicle to dry.
- Remove the battery to prevent discharge. Fully charge the battery and then place it in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- If you leave the battery in place, disconnect the negative - terminal to prevent discharge.
After removing your vehicle from storage, inspect all maintenance items required by the Maintenance Schedule.
For more information about storage, refer to the Honda Winter Storage Guide, available from your dealer.
Transporting Your Vehicle
- If your vehicle needs to be transported, it should be carried on a motorcycle trailer or a flatbed truck or trailer that has a loading ramp or lifting platform, and motorcycle tie-down straps. Never try to tow your vehicle with a wheel or wheels on the ground.
