As a detailer for over 27 years, I found out early on when it comes to rinsing the soap off of a vehicle, be it a car,truck, and motorcycle, if you use the spray nozzle it will eventually trap soap somewhere on and in the vehicle that you cannot see. I always recommend that you take the nozzle off and let the water cascade starting from the top and let gravity take place. This way it's less water spots, little to no trapped soap, and it will be a lot easier to dry in the end. Built up soap deposits attract dirt . Just my .2¢ .
@@locus1222no you can say 2¢ as two cents cause it's 2 then the percent sign so two then cents you saying the amount you have in cents not dollars if you have 0.02¢ you don't even have one whole cent you have zero point zero two cents
You forgot to oil the brake discs so they don’t squeak, had a buddy that couldn’t even tell his brakes were there after piling them he said they were silent, unfortunately he passed a few days later.
Ah.. I have to let you know that I think this is a myth. As a chemist there wouldn't be any difference between using different temperatures of water to wash off salt. In fact warmer water dissolves salt faster than cold water, but neither would further accelerate in the oxidation process
@@AlexNiles64 yea doesn't oxidation take time.. I'm no rocket surgeon so bear with me. but like. cleaning the bike. being that wet for that short of time? would that even do anything? besides. paint and clear coats usually are covering actual bare metal on bikes and vehicles anyway? would take more than a wash to notice rust? or like.. after years and years would it actually start to deteriorate thru those clear coats and paints and actually rust
I was watching a Harley guy wash his bike. He had what looked like a gigantic hair dryer. Looked it up and it is a high velocity dryer designed specifically for drying bikes. The Harley guy spent about an hour cleaning his bike. Absolutely gleaming when he took off. Back in about 15 minutes and ready for another wash. Riding in the rain is the washing my bike gets.
If you just rub it first, you can scratch color with the dust particles. First remove dust with lower pressure hose. An advice that painter gave me 🧑🎨
I'm a gsxr owner and I love your videos you keep it real. I take no offense on gsxr riders. I'm a safe rider and keep it real I have kids and people who love me. Keep up the good videos! I support!
Soak the windscreen, headlight, and anything on the front end with Simple Green also, to soften the bugs. Simple Green is the best bug & tar remover I've found yet. Gear oil for the chain.
just tip 1. when washing your bike, always scrub the fairings (plastic covers) first, then the engine then lastly the lower side (wheels, swingarm, underbelly) you do them last because mud and dirt mostly sticks to these parts and when you wash them it will mix to your soap and sticks to your brush/sponge, you wont want to have that dirt and soap mix on your plastics 2. towel drying your bike is ok but i dont like it, first its more tiring to wring your towel every time, 2nd it would still leave a little pockets of water specially those in hard to reach area. if you dont have a blower try to ride your bike in your neighborhood (preheat the engine first), just to give your bike fresh air and it would dry those parts, also dries your sweat lol and saves you from tiny scratch your bike get from rubbing dry towel to it
I have never ever washed any of my street bikes, dirt bikes yeah, just hit it with a power washer at the car wash, my road bikes don not get wet ever. I prefer the Honda polish (or something similar) and a microfiber cloth. Just my preference
I appreciate your videos. One other suggestion regarding Simple Green, make sure that it doesn’t sit too long and that it is thoroughly rinsed off - or I t will turn aluminum black. The industrial strength Simple Green (purple) is rated for aluminum. Still, rinse carefully - following suggestion in below comments.
I don’t know hot to ride a motorcycle, but I like watching your videos. Even when you used to do cooking tutorials. But I must ask, where can I get that shirt Pare!
I have a xsr900 for more than 3 years and I use every day to go to work. In 3 years I washed 2 time's, the good thing I see doing that is no one take pictures or try to sit on it.
Big mistake to start with a sponge if you have sand on your bike you can scratch you paint. First take a hose and and wash away the sand. And to dry vd a PU towel, it maybe takes longer but it leaves no chalk spots on your bike.
I like this approach, don't give a fuck how you do it just do it, do it regularly and it will stay clean, and also the no brand just pick what you have Awesome :D
I mean, if ur riding a bike like that how dirty does it really get.. Ur defo a good weather rider which is fine but its way more difficult if you ride ur motorcycle every day.
You shouldn't de-grease your chain. I clean with what the manufacturer recommends, which is kerosene. I also use what DID recommends as a lubricant, which is gear oil applied with an oil dripper. Came across a big jug of synthetic 95-140 for cheap, 4 years ago. I'm still using it. On a 250/300 you can get away with 1500 miles with no issues, 600 class and up should be lubed every 500-800 miles. I like the spray can lubes for long road trips.
Just to cover what many will think, with all lubes, you will have some sling. What I have found is that the Heaviest gear oil is the best, and using as little as possible reduces sling. I was talking with an old timer and he said they use to mix gear lube and assembly lube to increase the moly and zinc content as well as the viscosity. I'm not sure how economical that would be today.
My chain , I always clean it every oil service/change with kerosene. I saturate a cloth with kerosene, wipe it down. Wipe it again with a dry cloth, then lubricant it……easy peazy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I fill mine with salt to absorb all the soap and water then tip the bike upside down and do the same with the brakes and oil lines to remove any moisture
You can tell you aren’t a Suzuki guy by the way your arm was shaking trying to hold that bucket of suds. Those suds and the Suzukis too much for ya? 😂😂😂 just playn. I love your content. I am a Kaw rider so…Moo Moo.
Look in to a pet dryer. The air is filtered so less chance of something small hitting the bike and damaging the paint. It's basically those expensive car dryers but way cheaper.
I would have to disagree with you. I saved my chain for last multiple times and all i do is make a mess around it! It's personal preference i guess you might be more skilled than me 😆
@Richard Ahola I always clean my bike first because I feel like, (depending on what kind of soap use) it can alter the performance of whatever wax or oil you put on the chain before cleaning Edit ( I always let the wax stay for about 15-20 minutes before wiping any off) then go for a ride
Yeah I Wash mine at work using a Foamer Wash Shyt!! Spray the foam soap on and Rinse Off!! I let ur Air Dry while I’m working and she all ready to go by the time I’m OFF 🤷♂️ 🧼 🏍️
Washing the bike? What's that? The only time it gets clean is when it rains. Chain maintenance? Only during oil changes. My bikes continue to run fine. Maybe an earlier chain/sprocket change but we'll see about that.
No no no not what ever soap don’t use strong soap for your dishes use soft soap that won’t remove your wax and clear coat. Fr if you wanna take all the wax off your car just use dish soap.
Don’t use “whatever soap”. Use a soap designed for motor vehicles. Dish soap has grease stripping additives that will remove the clear coat and damage your paint. I like to use a car soap that has wax.

@Adobo Moto sure, happened to me a few times, but you plan your rides so it doesn't happen. A few times doesn't hurt if you clean your bike quickly.

Apply soap from bottom to top, that way you know which spots you've missed. Rinse top to bottom. Source: worked in sanitation years ago.
Wouldn't that just make you pick up dirt and scratch the top part of the paint?
If you live near the ocean, do not use warm/hot water. Use cold water as hot water reacts with salt and accelerates rusting.
Thank you!

Whatever soap you want should not be dish soap. The degreasers will take your wax off and subsequently ruin your clear coating.
It depends. Your current way is the quicker way which i do, too. But the complicated way is still the best.
