After cleaning

1. Dry the scooter with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stain-
less-steel parts, including the
exhaust system. (Even the ther-
mally induced discoloring of
stainless-steel exhaust systems
can be removed through pol-
ishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is rec-

ommended to apply a corro-
sion protection spray on all
metal, including chrome- and
nickel-plated, surfaces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal

cleaner to remove any remain-
ing dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damage

caused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the scooter dry completely

before storing or covering it.

8 Make sure that there is no oil

or wax on the brakes or tires. If
necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent.

8 Before operating the scooter

test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.

8 Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.

8 Never apply oil or wax to any

rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.

8 Avoid using abrasive polishing

compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice
on what products to use.
