CLEANING AND STORAGE 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 washers, since excessive high pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, the front fork, brakes, transmission seals, audio system, speakers, saddlebags, travel trunk and electrical parts. ● Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high-pressure washer applications, 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 detergent. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush to get into those hard-toreach places. 3. Rinse the motorcycle off immediately with clean water and dry all surfaces with a chamois, clean towel, or soft absorbent cloth. 4. Clean the seat with Yamaha Protectant or another high-quality vinyl 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 windshield cleaner. Some cleaning compounds for plastics may leave scratches on the windshield. Before using such cleaners, test an area of the windshield which does not affect your visibility and which cannot be easily recognized. 8 @ 8-2
