We want you to be proud of that bike when you bring it to the biggest biker event in Mid-Missouri. To learn more about the Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest 2019, visit our website at www.LakeBikefest.com. In the meantime, keep reading for 7 motorcycle cleaning tips.
1. Be sure to thoroughly dry your bike when you're finished cleaning. Start with a micro-fiber cloth or chamois to wipe it down. Then take it for a slow ride around the block, squeezing the breaks to pump out excess water. Finally, take it for a longer, raster ride to ensure water blows out of deep nooks and crannies. Water stuck in there can cause corrosion.
2. Avoid washing your motorcycle in the middle of the day or in direct sunlight as it can dry cleaners on the bike's surface before you can rinse them off, which leaves streaks.
3. Be sure to have different sponges and cloths for each area of the motorcycle. You don't want to clean grease off the wheels and then use that same sponge to wipe down the seat.
4. Try to avoid pressure washing your motorcycle because it can force water into electrical areas and crevices where it can pool and cause corrosion, or at least degreasing of vital parts. Only use a pressure washer in cases where you need to remove caked-on mud and tough grime.
5. Stay away from commercial washing facilities and do it yourself. Make sure you use cleaners specifically designed to clean motorcycles. Be careful of abrasive cleaners or general purpose cleaners as they can damage the paint and/or chrome.
6. Wash your motorcycle frequently, but try not to overdo it. You want to remove squashed bugs quickly to avoid blemishes in the paintwork, and frequent washing can also alert you to any issues such as oil or fluid leaks, or loose or damaged parts. However, washing too frequently can displace lubricants from cables and exposed grease points on old engines.
7. Never wash your bike right after a long ride. You want to give the bike time to cool down because you don't want to spray cold water on a hot engine.
