MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE 2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainlesssteel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stainlesssteel exhaust systems can be removed through polishing.) 3. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces. 4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner to remove any remaining dirt. 5. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc. 6. Wax all painted and chrome-plated surfaces. Avoid combination cleaner waxes, many of which contain abrasives that may mar the paint or protective finish. 7. Let the motorcycle dry completely before storing or covering it. EWA11131 ● 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. Before riding at higher speeds, test the motorcycle's braking performance and cornering behavior. ECA10950 ● Washing, rainy weather or humid climates can cause the headlight lens to fog. Turning the headlight on for a short period of time will help remove the moisture from the lens. NOTICE ● ● ● 8 ● Apply spray oil and wax sparingly and make sure to wipe off any excess. Never apply oil or wax to the drive belt. Never apply oil or wax to any rubber and plastic parts, but treat them with a suitable care product. Avoid using abrasive polishing compounds as they will wear away the paint. Special care is needed for cleaning the leather seats on this model. Be sure to follow the instructions below. Water can be harmful to untreated leather. Use Yamalube® Saddle Soap or another quality brand according to the manufacturer's directions to clean the leather. Polish the dry leather with a soft cloth, and then treat with Yamalube Mink Oil or another high-quality leather protectant for increased water resistance. WARNING Contaminants on the brakes or tires can cause loss of control. ● Make sure that there is no oil or wax on the brakes or tires.
