Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with
dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels
after 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.
Exhaust Pipe Maintenance
The exhaust pipe is steel but may become
stained by oil or mud. If necessary, remove
heat stains with a liquid 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.
