I've been taking mine to a high pressure car wash for 20 years. Never had a problem, it only goes if real bad with bugs or rain, 3-4 times a year just some common sense on where ya point the wand, if I haven't run in rain or bugs aint bad I just use a waterless wash or detail spray after a days riding. Oh and it goes after I service it.

 

With the time constraints becoming more a part of our daily lives here is a guaranteed way of saving time and money while enjoying a cool ride on your scooter!

 

Yes, Im in the camp that pressure washers are ok. I hold the wand close enough to apply soap and water, but far enough to not get in electronics. Think of it as rain going 60mph.

Beary

 

IMO it's not worth the risk. Take a few more minutes with a hose at home and be conservative with the water and you will never have an issue.

 

I use a pressure washer on mine all the time. Just don't hold the nozzle right up against the paint or electronics!

 

When I have the garden hose available, I'll wash it that way. When I don't, I'll use the local self-wash w/pressure washer. I have done it this way for my 30 years worth of riding and have NEVER had a failure that could be blamed on pressurized water. Maybe, it's because I use a little common sense when using the pressure hose. Whenever I use s100 (which is only once or twice a year), I always go to the self-wash because of the increase volume of water and also the one time s100 stained my new, untreated driveway..

 

LOL ya..I do not think I would be doing that with my bike lol. That's funny as hell though.

 

Pressure/steam wash mine all the time. Just dont focus the stream on any electronics.

 

Now my Triumph on the other hand a light fog would screw stuff up.

 

I pressure wash the hell outta mine...I get all up in the cracks and crevices and im all up close on it too. Never had a problem and will continue to do so until I do. Its a machine...it has no feelings for me...therefore, I have no feelings for it. I treat it as a machine...not as a life with flesh that can be injured with high pressure spray...just sayin
