i wash mine only about twice a year.all other times i use various products to clean. as a verteran biker,i find the less water the better . i knows others differ in opinion on this one . i have to admit.you will never find a cleaner motorcycle . honda spay polish/cleaner is awesome. it cleans everthing on your bike,i dry it off big time,then fire up my air compressor and blow it off,or,ride it down the raod,then hand dry again . only exception,if i get caught in the rain,then a bucket wash is a must !! never go to a spray wash !!! danger. that hi pressure will destroy a bike in a[sm=badidea.gif] heartbeat. and blow parts off. yep,i know people that really do this,and the bike looks like crap . just my opinion here :

 

I spray it off with S100 and the hose once the bugs get reall bad, maybe once a month. Otherwise I wash it before I park it for winter and then maybe one good wash in early July.

 

I wash about twice a month out here in CALI, but then again my bike is a daily commuter. When I do was I use Meguires car soap and nano wax (really good stuff), then I use S100 for the rims and spokes (god i hate to clean those). then I use ICE detailing spray inbetween washes. It only takes 5 minutes a day to wipe down and keep looking like it just rolled off the show room floor.

 

never washed my bike yet, thats the wifes job

 

Posers wash,

Riders ride

 

Two maybe three times a year. I often just wipe down the chrome parts, I have the denim paint which helps. I love my bike dirty, just like women. But don't tell my wife.

 

Depends on how clean you want it. Since you asked, I'd say you should wash it every three hours.

 

If I'm riding it often to work during the week, it gets washed every weekend or every other week. I cant stand the brake dust on the wheels. Usually it just gets dust/pollen and brake dust since I dont ride in the rain. If I dont ride it, it just sits in the garage and stays clean.

 

I wash it when it needs it. Otherwise I use a micro cloth and just keep it dusted
