Introduction
Cleaning your bike is much like riding it, everyone
does things their own way and has their own preferred methods. Let BSUK help you
brush up your skills and and turn a chore into an art form !
Preparation
A
thorough preparation job is essential, how well this is done will affect the
total result so taking time on this stage is vital. Wash
the bike with a liquid soap designed for washing cars/motorcycles using one of
the sponges. Wash the whole body work, motor, rear sub-frame and wheels. this is
the first step completed and will have removed a high proportion of the
accumulated dirt. Caution
Do
not be tempted to use dishwashing soap as these are not designed to be used on
painted surfaces and their harsh detergents may strip the protective surface
layer. Also be very careful if you choose to use powdered soaps, make sure that
it has been mixed properly as loose grains can cause severe permanent scratching
to your motorcycle.
