Storing Your Vehicle - Honda CRF1100 Owner's Manual

Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel
but may become stained by mud or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and
a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse well with
clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a
commercially available fine texture compound. Then
rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.
When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
do not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.
NOTICE
Even though the exhaust is made of stainless
steel, it can become stained. Remove all marks
and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.

Storing Your Vehicle

If you store your vehicle outdoors, you should
consider using a full-body cover.
If you won't be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
Wash your vehicle and wax all painted
●
surfaces (except mat painted surfaces). Coat
chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
Lubricate the drive chain.
●
Place your vehicle on a maintenance stand
●
and position a block so that both tyres are
off the ground.
After rain, remove the body cover and allow
●
the vehicle to dry.
