I find myself washing my SG anytime I'm out motoring around for a couple hours or more.

Is it a good thing or bad thing to wash it after every ride? Maybe I just enjoy detailing it so damn much I make excuses to wash it.

Your thoughts and/or policy when it comes to washing your scoot?

 

I rarely wash mine period but I dowipe it down BEFORE every ride unless I'm just going to ride for a few minutes and it's not that dirty. My bike is 4 years old and I bet I have washed it with water maybe 5-6 times and only because I rode in the rain. But I always use a quick detailer of some sort to 'spiff' it up. I think it should be against the law to ride a dirty HOG! Not really, but I want mine looking it's best so people go "OOOOOO".....lol.......

BTW, be careful with water when washing. Water has a tendency to get into places it shouldn't and do weird things to wiring and such. Ride safe........

 

I didn't vote because there is no choice that applies to me. I rarely ever wash my bike. Maybe twice a year, it even that. Usually, it ends up at the dealership for something or other and they wash it. I'm too lazy and ride too much to worry about it.

 

Mine is cleaned after every ride. I only wash it after riding in rain or when it gets really dusty. For daily cleaning I use Cycle Care # 33. For washing I use pure hot water only. No soap, towel(cotton) dry.

Ride Safe,

Mike

 

I like ridin'dirty








J/K I wash my bike when it get to bad to do a quick clean up, about once a week, depending on the weather. I do a quick clean about everytime I ride.

 

If I washed mine after every ride, I wouldn't have time to ride! I ride almost every day, so I wash it when the windshield is unbearable dirty...

 

I voted for once a month, but it's really more like 5 or 6 times a year- and then only as an excuse to get up close and personal with basic maintenance stuff like spokes, belt adjustment, etc. I hate washing bikes (and cars, much to my wife's annoyance).

 

I tend to wipe the bike down after every ride using a spray water bottle and terry cloth towels.

 

i wash mine quite a bit- and i wipe it down ALL the time.

i actually enjoy washing the bike and cars

 

i wash mine before i leave for the day. of course i dont ride to work or everyday i am just a weekend rider and after work if it isnt raining.
