How do you guys clean the spaces that have all the electronics in it? For example, under the seat or where the main fuse is located? I took my seat off the other day and noticed just crap and dust in that area. Is there some spray for electronics that can be used?

 

When l wash the bike, l remove the bags and the seat. The battery area gets soap a water, rinsed off and dried with a air blower and then toweled. Never had an issue because of moisture. Harley get wet in the rain anyway or sitting outside in the elements.

 

Just wipe it down with a damp rag

 

We have the same machine, you don't have to sweat hurting anything under there. I have ridden through driving rain in tornado country, and the bikes get swamped.

I keep up on it with a wet rag, but have had to wash it down with low pressure spray before after long rides like the one I mentioned above.

 

i use a dry microfiber to start, gently wipe as much as you can and then blow it out afterward (compressor, canned air, lean in and go "phooooooo")

then I use a damp mf towel, no soap and such, very dry, no water dripping, wrung out very hard

next, come the cotton detailing swabs, i dip the swabs in a prep solution....only need a tiny bit, leaves the surfaces super clean

keep poking, prodding, wiping, and swiping until the tips start coming back clean

last time i took the time to properly clean it, i wiped each individual wire....seems like a pain in the ***, because it is...... also, grab a tube of dielectric, if you disconnect a wiring harness, apply before reconnecting

hers is a before and after, did some wire cleanup as well

 

Where is the "after" pic?

Edit: Oh wow! What a huge difference! Nicely done!

Alright then...I guess I will start spraying Probably will just get some soapy water in a sprayer and use a little brush to get in tight places and then gently hose it off...


Thanks guys!

 

Late to the thread I know but I use this electrics cleaner you can pick up from Menards. I use this **** on everything. It's under pressure so it squirts out strong and practically cleans everything without having to touch or dry anything. Safe for all electrical components and connections
