7. Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the motorcycle.
Braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired
immediately after washing the motorcycle. Anticipate
longer stopping distance to avoid a possible accident.

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.

Clean the Mat Painted Surface

Using plenty of water, clean the mat painted surface
with a soft cloth or sponge. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Use neutral detergent to clean mat painted surface.
Do not use waxes containing compounds.

STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter, requires
that you take certain steps to reduce the effects of
deterioration from non-use of the motorcycle. In
addition, necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the motorcycle; otherwise, these repairs may
be forgotten by the time the motorcycle is removed
from storage.

Storage

1. Change the engine oil and clean the filter screen.
2. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor into an
approved petrol container. Reinstall the fuel fill
cap on the tank.
To assure proper performance after storage lasting
more than one month, it is important to drain the
carburetor.
