Caution
Use of high pressure spray washers is
not recommended. When using
pressure washers, water may be
forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear

Avoid spraying water with any great

force near the following places:
• Instruments;
• Brake cylinders and brake calipers;
• Under the fuel tank;
• Air intake duct;
• Headstock bearings;
• Wheel bearings.
Note:
• Use of soaps that are highly
