It's rainy here this weekend so I figured I'd wash my RG. It was the second bath in 2k miles and it's not even been in the rain, so it can't be too dirty right? Daaaannnng, there has got to be a easier way to clean these friggin wheels. I washed on my bike for almost 3 hours, taking extra care to be sure to wash every little friggin nut, bolt, wire, and hose that wasn't completely underneath this biga$$ scooter. Even used wheel and tire cleaner with my bike wash water and rag on my wheels. Pulled it back in the shop and spent a 1/2 hr. with the bike dryer. She looked almost like day one, until I pulled the retractable work light down to double check my wheels. Sonofa.....!!! Anybody got a special brush or mop that they use on their 09?
