Cleaning the motorcycle

1. Rinse any dirt and degreaser off

with a garden hose, using only

enough pressure to do the job.

ECA00032

CAUTION:

@

●

Do not use high-pressure wash-

ers, since excessive high pres-

sure may cause water seepage

and deterioration of wheel bear-

ings, the front fork, brakes,

transmission seals, audio sys-

tem, speakers, saddlebags,

travel trunk and electrical parts.

●

Many expensive repair bills

have resulted from improper

high-pressure washer applica-

tions, such as those available at

coin-operated car washers.

2. Once the majority of the dirt has

been hosed off, wash all surfaces

with warm water and a mild deter-

gent. Use a toothbrush or bottle-

brush to get into those hard-to-

reach places.

3. Rinse the motorcycle off immedi-

ately with clean water and dry all

surfaces with a chamois, clean

towel, or soft absorbent cloth.

4. Clean the seat with Yamaha Pro-

tectant or another high-quality vi-

nyl upholstery cleaner to keep the

cover pliable and glossy.

Cleaning the windshield

Avoid using any alkaline or strong acid

cleaner, gasoline, brake fluid, or any

other solvent. Clean the windshield

with a cloth or sponge dampened with

a mild detergent, and then wash it off

thoroughly with water. For additional

cleaning, use Yamaha Windshield

Cleaner or another high-quality wind-

shield cleaner. Some cleaning com-

pounds for plastics may leave

scratches on the windshield. Before us-

ing such cleaners, test an area of the

windshield which does not affect your

visibility and which cannot be easily

recognized.
