Wait For Cool Down
Never spray the water on the hot engine of your bike. A sudden temperature difference can crack the engine block. Just wait to cool down your bike engine.
Get The Grim Off
The dusty particles and other foreign droplets on the road fade your bike’s color. You leave it for a number of days then it may affect your bike performance.
To clean it properly, you just require sponge and foam liquid. Scrub from your handlebars and move your scrub towards the rear wheel. Clean your bike front as well as rear fork along with the rear and front triangle. It is the place where most of the mud collects.
Keep in mind that never use pressure washer directly to the wheel hubs. It can damage your bike bearings.
Clean The Wheels And Brakes
Clean the brake calipers and brake pads using the same sponge. You can also use a brake cleaner. It will help you to remove oil and grease from brakes. For the wheels clean spokes, hubs, and tires.
If your bike tires are too muddy, then use a brush having hard plastic fibers. Just soak it in the soap and scrub it hard on the tires. It will clean your bike tires.
Dry Your Bike
Use a soft dry towel to dry your bike to avoid watery stains after your wash. Especially care should be taken where there are steel divisions. Dry them properly as they catch the rust easily.
Polish Your Bike
The last step is to polish your bike with a wax polish. It helps to resist corrosion and any negative impact of foreign particles. Also, keeps your bike flashing.
Enjoy the ride! Happy Journey!
