How I wash my bike... 1. Roll bike out garage 2. Turn hose on 3. Wash bike with water 4. Kick off big mud pieces and poke them with stick 5. Turn of water 6. Rip 5th open down my residential neighborhood to dry. 7. Put bike back in garage This is no joke how I do it.
the bike is actually "dirty" well i mean not really but if you ride in the rocky mountains, its very dry so you normally just get a film of dust. we dont really have mud or anything out here. look at the swing arm, there is a bit of "dust on it" I mean I never really wash my bike out here since its just dusty but the air filter takes a beating because it is so fine.
You don't even have to take the gas cap off. That's wasting your precious energy. Just put the hose in that little hole where the warm air comes out when it's running, and then just turn it on. 🤣
Rimi usually the rain can not get into the exhaust so the angle is vertical or slightly down and if the bike is running its getting pushed out. Dirt will not get into there because the gas coming out will push it out and even then it needs to go through the whole muffler to get to the engine so basically nothing
Skip the middle man and just ride the bike through with your gear on. That way your gear (and you) gets cleaned up too. I prefer the ones with the spinning cloth. The ones that just use water pressure sting a bit.
I would reccomend leaving the seat off when spraying the sc1, i didnt my first time and it was slick for the next couple rides. Lesson was learned the hard way
I stick rags inside the airbox cover just to ensure no water gets in the engine. Also I wash the airbox out when the bike is on its side so it doesn't splash back in your face.
When I was 16 and had a '75 Honda CR 125 I used to strip the bike to the frame! Why? I don't know, but I liked doing it and having a perfectly clean, like new bike again.
@@codypetersen4130 No but when I was 15 I bought a used Suzuki 175 and stripped it in my bedroom over the winter INCLUDING the motor practicing putting it together and apart replacing any part on the bike that was corroded or worn, glass beading the cylinder and trickng it out (for a '72 175 not much you could do - plastic fenders,tires)
Don’t sc1 the areas you grip onto like shrouds frame and seat and also when lubing the chain lube it up by the front sprocket so you don’t get any on your rear brake and have it not work.
Those of you who dont know stay at least 2 feet away from radiators unless you want to spend hours bending fins back or 100s having someone fix them or to get new ones.
Simple green works tits! Cleans up white plastics mint too! And for that guy that says itll degrease your bearings.... if simple green gets past your seals its the least of your worries...
There is a Do it yourself Car Wash near my house. We all unload our dirty bikes, Mob down there, and wash them there. Ride em back dry. $2 for 7 minute wash gets it done and it's fun to Gang down the streets.
Like he said there's no real wrong way but one major key he forgot is either an sos pad or a scotch bright with some soap and water. Keep your frame and subframe looking nice.. it goes a long way!
Are we talking pterodactyl crap that's been baked on the frame during hot summer months? No we're talking about dirt, also known as dried mud. Unless of course you're riding a clapped out rig from the 80s then by all means throw some sandpaper in there while you're at it.
Pressure washers generally come with a variety of nozzles that not only change the spray pattern but also can reduce the pressure as well which would be way more ideal than using a hose.
I have never used a butt plug on a motorcycle but ive never shoved a hose down my exhaust. I dont have a rubber lid for my air intake but i leave the seat on when i wash it. I dont use a dozen different solutions and cleaning devices when washing my bike but i dont own a store where im trying to sell them either.
how I wash bike 1.unload bike off truck 2. put bike on stand 3. put butt plug in exhaust 4.wash bike (avoiding air box because im too lazy to put a cover on it) 5. rip down street to dry it 6. lube chain 7. put it away 8. take a nap
Be aware that dish soap is designed to remove grease & oils off of dishes, pans,... so it will also remove grease, dirt, polishes, waxes off of a car or bike. So never use dish washing soap. Also I discovered years ago that dish soap after many uses will remove clearcoat from a vehicle, my truck. After 3 years of washing the new truck by hand the red paint was showing up on the wash clothe as the clear coat had all been removed. Could also feel the different by running my hand over the surface when it was dry. Lesson for me was to use automotive soaps. NOt dish washing or laundrey soap.
I like washing my bike as least as possible. It’s hard on parts of the bike. I usually look to see if there is mud that needs takin out or is hurting anything first.
MY QUICK DETAIL GUIDE ON HOW I KEEP MY BIKE PRESTINE! 1: plug the exhaust & air filter 2: pressure wash most of the big chunks or mud off and soak the remaining mud/spots with the water. ( mind bearings, electrical connections & pivot points ) 3: pressure washer add-on that foams the bike with a good degreaser/cleaner detergent. ( with my degreaser this removes all of the dirt & yellow /brown spots on the plastics) 4: This is where most people lose alot of time... The drying process. There's a tool for this that works MAGIC! A brushless 1000w hot airbdryer. A 5 min job and the bike is dry & clean af. 5: Spray the plastics/chain with said products in video or use your own 6: admire your fresh ride that probably took less than an hour te clean 😁 (7): spokes need love to people!
@@inspiringrex1198 I use it diluted approx. 10 water : 1 Simple Green. I learned via trail and error it works better diluted on everything I have tried it on than undiluted. Even on oil stains on an asphalt driveway 10:1 was the best I found (30 to 60 minutes later rinse it off with a hose), (not a power washer as this will push oils into the asphalt). As for a nice shine and to help get the dirt off after a ride, even on the underside of the fenders I have used Lemon Pledge spray furniture polish. I 1st learned of it years ago at a street new model show. Cheaper than SC1. I tried non-name Lemon furniture spary polish but it was not as good as the name Brand Lemon Pledge. I spray the plastics then wipe it off the outer surfaces but not the under the fender areas a tad with a microfibre clothe. Good luck. Have fun.
YES!!!! I accidently rode through a red clay 2 ft deep puddle two weekends ago....that crap stained EVERYTHING!!! It was so hard to scrub off. Every freaking nook and cranny.
I literally use the exact same products aside from your bike cleaner (I use muc-off) great video! Reassuring to know I'm not the only one who does it this way. That chain cleaner brush and the Maxima Clean Up are a match made in heaven! Chain looks brand new everytime I'm finished!
spray wd 40 on your pivot points after you wash to help push out the water linkage, swing arm and tripple clamps. WD 40 your chain before you wash to help push out the dirt and then spray it again when done to keep it from rusting then add your chain lube
I always use my gas power washer. But one thing I use to keep from mud build up is the ArmorAll spray make for the car dash cuz it’s not super thin like tire shine or armorall. I spray it on every inch of the bike except for the seat, grips and but not were legs grip on to the bike or it with be slippery. But out of everything I have experimented with like wd40 and etc their all to thick and the dirt and Dust will stick to bike soon as you start riding. Plus with how oily those products are with the dust stuck to it, when you rub against it with your gear the dust will stain your gear. Trust dash ArmorAll best thing out there
I'm looking for a product that I can spray on my new engine and spokes to protect them if I don't wash a muddy bike that arfternoon. like a drying wd40 that leaves a fine film .any ideas products..one guy said inox???

Bro that bike isn’t even dirty. You didn’t even need to clean it. I’ll chime in since this is useless…. Cover the exhaust and seal the intake. Spray down the bike and get it wet. Cover the bike with a foamy soap mix. Let it sit a little. Spray it off real quick and then apply more soap. Use a bristle brush to get the big stuff. Rinse it off.

This is a good time to wash your air filter and put in a clean one. Keep 2 so you always have one ready. Leaf blow anything and everything. Focus on the bearings. The chain. Anywhere water could hide. Let it sit in the sun for a bit while you also dry it with a microfiber. It don’t forget, it’s a damn dirt bike. It doesn’t need to be ready for a showroom floor. Odds are you won’t even get it that clean.
Why is anyone recommending a pressure washer?? Because it's a neat, noisy machine that makes us feel like the manliest of men while operating it?? A cheap adjustable sprayer on the end of a garden hose is the safest way to go, and like the package says, it's ADJUSTABLE.
Every time I lay my 2003 CR250R on its side to wash it, I get water into the plugs of the servo motor and my power valve glitches out.... I have to unplug it and dry it out...
Wash bike? I have a Honda it’s bullet proof ! And to wash your bike , ride into river wait a bit ride out bikes washed , oh don’t forget to BbbrrAAAAAp it when it’s submerged
I am late but i have a question, I have 2020 KTM SX250F and under the seat there are ALL the electronics like cables and the battery and there are holes in the plastics and you can touch and see the air filter so what would i do with my seat?
Just like any part of the bike, if you're using a pressure washer, just don't get too close (3-6 inches) all your electrical wires should have protectors on them to keep water out but this isn't a guarantee. This is why using compressed air is good after washing, to get as much water off as possible. - Chase
well, if water can mess up seals, I messed up riding in the rain the other day. there was even mud on my forks. I see people ride in mud on tv but I guess you can't beleave everything you see on the tv.
Get some truck wash and pour it over your seat. Then get a tyre scrubber and scrub all over your seat. Leave for a few minutes and wash off with pressure washer. Looks brand new
1- Get bike dirty. 2- Insert but plug in exhaust. 3- spray down with simple green. 4- shut off fuel and lay bike on its side (no stand required. Remember you just dropped it a few times when you where getting it dirty) 5- more simple green on oily residue and agitate with a small brush. Tooth brush works well, and wd40 or break clean helps if it’s real nasty. 6- pressure wash da f out of it. Dish soap and water with a big scrub brush gets the rest of the mud lifted. 7- Flip bike over and repeat steps 5 and 6 8- Drip dry and lube.
I like to WD-40 mine to prevent my metal components from rusting make sure you dry everything off first and start the engine to get it nice and dry I recommend you guys get the Chain lubricant from rocky mountain ATV
WD40 has way too much silicone in it, just use silicone spray on all metals after you dry it. It won't collect as much dust before your next ride and it's cheap, $1.35/can, no name brand just silicone spray.

Why is anyone recommending a pressure washer?? Because it's a neat, noisy machine that makes us feel like the manliest of men while operating it?? A cheap adjustable sprayer on the end of a garden hose is the safest way to go, and like the package says, it's ADJUSTABLE.
Every time I lay my 2003 CR250R on its side to wash it, I get water into the plugs of the servo motor and my power valve glitches out.... I have to unplug it and dry it out...
who wouldnt wanna wash a dirtbike a love seeing a dirty bike come out of a nice wash looking nice and clean
Make sure to power wash the heck out of all bearings, it make the bearings extra lubricated
Good job mate you have stretched your chain a bit
"Chain lube" is a scam. At worst, it will make your chain worse. At best it's not as good as GEAR OIL. #Fortnine channel rules.
Wash bike? I have a Honda it’s bullet proof ! And to wash your bike , ride into river wait a bit ride out bikes washed , oh don’t forget to BbbrrAAAAAp it when it’s submerged
I am late but i have a question, I have 2020 KTM SX250F and under the seat there are ALL the electronics like cables and the battery and there are holes in the plastics and you can touch and see the air filter so what would i do with my seat?
Hello, I’m pretty new to the MX scene and I was wondering are there spots of the engine to avoid spraying when washing?
Just like any part of the bike, if you're using a pressure washer, just don't get too close (3-6 inches) all your electrical wires should have protectors on them to keep water out but this isn't a guarantee. This is why using compressed air is good after washing, to get as much water off as possible. - Chase
Rocky Mountain ATV MC Thanks a lot for replying 👍
Lol bikes have feelings 2 so true
I added a radiator fan to my Yz450f, I have to remove the plastic & cover the fan with a plastic bag
Ahh yes, those damn muddy deserts. You gotta watch out for those, they make a right mess of your bike! 😁
Great vid though, thanks 👍
To extra
well, if water can mess up seals, I messed up riding in the rain the other day. there was even mud on my forks. I see people ride in mud on tv but I guess you can't beleave everything you see on the tv.
My boss thank you very much about the video I think W 40 pressure water fantastic is enough
You call that dirty?
Get some truck wash and pour it over your seat. Then get a tyre scrubber and scrub all over your seat. Leave for a few minutes and wash off with pressure washer. Looks brand new
*Zac Smith* Clear and to the point, I like it! Thanks for sharing with us.
Do I have to take off my seat and air filter or can I just avoid it
It wont allow you to clean your bike as well but you can certainly leave the seat on while washing your dirt bike.
1- Get bike dirty. 2- Insert but plug in exhaust. 3- spray down with simple green. 4- shut off fuel and lay bike on its side (no stand required. Remember you just dropped it a few times when you where getting it dirty) 5- more simple green on oily residue and agitate with a small brush. Tooth brush works well, and wd40 or break clean helps if it’s real nasty. 6- pressure wash da f out of it. Dish soap and water with a big scrub brush gets the rest of the mud lifted. 7- Flip bike over and repeat steps 5 and 6 8- Drip dry and lube.
Also be careful with the sc1 by your brakes
These guys just want. Your money
Nah...RM is good peoples. They don't wanna sell you anything you don't need or want.
@@rickfeith6372 Exactly. I buy a lot of good stuff from them.
nah everything recommended is legit.
All this to wash your bike....... or you could just pressure spray it in 5 minutes
Amazing thanks for the help you all have been giving me with my cr125r I really appreciate it #teamhonda #rockymountianatv
Quick question is it ok to get the radiators wet?
*c walsh* You should be fine, yes.
Rocky Mountain ATV MC ok thank i was Not quite sure
I like to WD-40 mine to prevent my metal components from rusting make sure you dry everything off first and start the engine to get it nice and dry I recommend you guys get the Chain lubricant from rocky mountain ATV
WD40 has way too much silicone in it, just use silicone spray on all metals after you dry it. It won't collect as much dust before your next ride and it's cheap, $1.35/can, no name brand just silicone spray.
