Blow drying your machine is the way to go.I use compressed air everytime I wash my toy.Sure saves an awful lot of polishing.

<---------uses a $35 craftsman electric leaf blower,,, much better than the shop vac
I don't have leaves and already had shop vac so it was a free upgrade and it's more MPH than leaf blower.

I recommend the 4 HP Motorcycle Dryer. I think they call it the Metro Air Force Motorcycle Master Blaster. I bought it on ebay for $178. It filters the air, warms the air, and it is powerful. better than an air compresor. I also use it on my car. It is the best. Once you use it you will never go back. You spend $15,000 to $30,000 on your bike, maybe more, this makes washing your bike a snap, it's make in the USA, and will last your life time. ...No I do not work for this company
