surfaces.
The headlight's inside lens may fog
temporarily after washing or while riding in
the rain. This does not impact the headlight

or ice accumulated inside the lens(es), have
your vehicle inspected by your dealer.

thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
Strong detergent residue can corrode
alloy parts.

and let it run for several minutes.

motorcycle. Several applications may be
necessary to restore normal braking
performance.
