MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

7-3

7

After cleaning

1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-

mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-

er to remove any remaining dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damage

caused by stones, etc.

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

before storing or covering it.

WARNING

_

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 ac-
etone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent. Before riding at higher
speeds, test the motorcycle’s
braking performance and cor-
nering behavior.

CAUTION:

_

Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.

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.

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