VEHICLE WASHING
Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down the color fading of its body and
make it easier to check if there is any damage and any oil leakage.
1. After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to
remove dirty residues so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies
should be cleaned by wiping with a cloth or foam soaked in neutral
detergent solution, followed by washing with clean water.
2. After the cleaned vehicle is air dried, grease the chain and run the engine
at idling speed for a few minutes.
3. Prior to driving, carefully check the braking system repeatedly and repair
or adjust it if necessary.
CAUTION
Washing the motorcycle with over-pressurized water may cause
damage to some of its components. Therefore, do not use a pressure
washer to clean the vehicle. The following parts should be cleaned
using low pressure water:
— Wheel hub
— Exhaust pipe
— Fuel tank and lower portion of cushion
— Carburetor
— Ignition switch
— Air filter
