Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with
dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels
af ter riding through any of these
substances. Use a wet sponge and mild
detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives or chemical
compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water
and dry with a clean cloth.
Apply touch-up paint to the wheels where
damage has resulted.
Exhaust Pipe Maintenance
The exhaust pipe is stainless steel but may
become stained by oil or mud. If necessary,
remove heat stains with a liquid kitchen
abrasive.

Clean The Windshield
Using plenty of water, clean the windshield
with a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using
detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner
on the windshield.) Dry with a soft, clean
cloth.
To avoid possible scratching or other
damage, use only water and a soft cloth or
sponge to clean the windshield.
For a dirtier windshield, use a diluted
neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty
of water. Make sure to wash off all the
detergent. (Detergent residue may cause
windshield cracks.)
Replace the windshield if scratches cannot
be removed and they obstruct clear vision.
Do not let battery electrolyte, brake fluid or
other acid chemicals get on the windshield
and screen garnish. They will damage the
plastic.
