Heavy Technicals! WASHING advice....

[CIP57_imp]

Kerosene is my choice of cleaners. I never hose down this bike, I use two five gallon buckets one clear and one with mild detergent. I use kerosene first to clean the chain with a chain brush, swing-arm, center-stand, under the rear fender, rims and grime if any on the motor. Then the bike gets a sponge bath followed by Plexus and wax.

My ST and XX I would use a hose, take off the seat and cover the electrics with plastic then get in those areas by hand.

Edit: This product will cut down on cleaning::
