Refer to Safety Precautions on page 45.
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep your
Honda looking newer longer. Frequent cleaning
also identifies you as an owner who values your
motorcycle. A clean motorcycle is also easier
to inspect and service.
While you're cleaning, be sure to look for
damage, wear, and gasoline or oil leaks.
