Bike Maintenance: Keeping Your Motorcycle Clean

​Who would not appreciate the beauty of a clean and well-maintained motorcycle? From the beauty of the sound of its revving engine, all the way to the shine of its parts, a motorcycle can be a masterpiece. However, keeping it that way can be a challenge. Constant use and the wear and tear of the road can corrode it inch by inch. Luckily, you can help protect your bike against that by keeping it clean. Here are the basics of keeping your motorcycle clean.
​Use The Right Product And Wash Properly
Avoid using any cleaning agent that is not designed for motorcycles or cars. Detergents and other soaps can contain harmful chemicals for your bike's finish. It can do more bad than good. Make sure you use shampoo that is specially designed for automotive use.

The next thing to remember is to wash your bike correctly. Read the instructions on how to use the product you have chosen. Wash your motorcycle using cool water and remove the dirt. Gently rub down the parts with a clean and soft sponge. Hard and corrosive surfaces like brushes and other cleaning materials can scratch the surface of your bike.

Also, make sure you remember the following actions.
  • Avoid using high-pressure sprays to clean your motorcycle. They may be commonly used in cars, but they can damage some sensitive motorcycle parts.
  • Do not wash a bike that has just been used. A hot engine is dangerous to handle, don't get burned and wait until it cools down.
  • Avoid water on electronic parts and muffler outlets.

Things To Do After Washing
Make sure to rinse your motorcycle thoroughly. Any leftover soap or chemicals can damage the surface. Next, wipe it clean and dry using a soft cloth. You may need to lubricate the dry chain after washing. You may have washed away some of its lubricants. Afterward, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. If you find your headlights are cloudy with moisture, turn them on high beams until it fades away.

Another vital tip is always to check the brakes after washing. You may need to pump the brakes a few times to return it to its usual handle. Give yourself a little extra braking distance as well. You will notice a slight change every time you wash.

Conclusion
Extend your motorcycles life by keeping it clean and well maintained. Protect it from dirt by cleaning it. Protect it from risks by having it insured. At Priority Insurance LLC, we work hard in making sure that our clients are well-protected with policies that they can afford.

I'm glad you mentioned how to wash a motorcycle correctly. My uncle wants to get a motocross bike with custom graphics. I'll share this info so he can learn how to care for the motorcycle properly.
