About Cleaning
When cleaning your bike , use only a mild soap and water solution. A clean water and a common dish
washing liquid will work best.
Be sure to cover adjustment knobs and air filter (if equipped) with a clean plastic bag secured
temporarily with a rubber band or masking tape.
Before wiping away dirt, use an ordinary water hose to gently spray off heavy soils and dirt.
CAUTION
DO NOT power wash or spray water under high pressure to clean. Power washing will force
contaminants into parts where they will promote corrosion, immediately damage, or result in
accelerated wear.
DO NOT use compressed air to dry.
DO NOT use abrasive or harsh chemical cleaner/solvents which can damage the finish or attack and
destroy both the outside and internal parts.
When rinsing, avoid directing the spray directly at shock/fork adjusters or bearings.
