Finishing Touches
After washing your motorcycle, consider
using a commercially-available spray
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste
wax to finish the job. Use only a non-
abrasive polish or wax made specifically
for motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the
polish or wax according to the instructions
on the container.

Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface
freezing prevention treatment used on
roads in winter and seawater causes rust.
If your motorcycle is ridden through such
conditions, wash it as follows.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water
(page 128).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and make sure the
surface of the metal is protected with
wax.
