Alright
Procedure for washing bike
Pre-instructional warnings
You can wash any bike naked or not, however bikes that are not meant to be naked can sometimes leave their privates vulnerable from shorts(ing) out
Recommended to put fairings back on, but should not have much of a problem.
1. fill bucket with warm water and bike soap wash (that car stuff will fill your plastics with rust)
2. make sure you have a sponge, if not buy one
2b. buy sponge
3. Put sponge in water
4. Cover bike in water to losen any dirt before rubbing begins (stace prefers lube before rubbing)
5. take sponge and apply to bike (stace prefers proper baths)
6. Wheel cleaner, metho, wd 40 or kero will remove road grime with a bit of a rag from wheels and swingarm
6. cover bike in water to get rid of any suds, if possible avoid pouring water down air intakes, they are not water intakes.
7. Take Chammy and dry.
7b. buy Chammy
8. have a fiddle

dude.... u cant be serious??
surely u do it just to get a rise out of us??
be very careful not to wet ur bike, it will fill with water and expand into a big scary dinosaur that will eat u...much like them furry things in the "Gremlins" movie...
