washing your bike

[fz6nick]

If you havent tried it yet, use S100. Its amazing. Get it at the HD shop




I found its best to use a leaf blower to dry off your bike!

Hmmm, leaf blower - not a bad idea, thx.:Flash:

Bike Bright is cheaper and easier to wash all of it off than S100. Sold at most Japanese biek shops which keeps you out of those Harley joints.....

yea a leaf blower will ensure no water spots without having to use a towel or some form of water absorber. i use it sometimes after washing my car.

do you guys wax your bikes?

 

[reiobard]

how does it work? is it one of those spray on and wipe off ones? if so whats with the blower?

 

[fz6nick]

s100 you can just spray on let it sit and spray it off.

The blower will "blowdry" your bike off really good.

I just use detail spray to wash my bike.

Has anybody tried the S100 Chain lube and chain cleaner?

And are you using the total cleaner or the regular cleaner? Is the regular good enough to just spray on, hose off?

oh ok, i have always had to touch my bike to wash it, so i guess this would be cool to try, how des it work in the crevices of the engine?

well, I've had my bike for a year and um, I've never washed it. :scared:

I'll keep this in mind in case I decide to wash it. :thumbup:

I use a Turttle Wax Wash & Polish Car Wash in a Spray Can. Spray it + wipe it off + buff it up = super shiny bike :rockon:

Not yet. I did not know they made chain lube and cleaner. Not sure it's made it to the states yet.

I have used their Total Bike Cleaner and it works well, but I prefer the Motul Bike cleaner.
