I just had a stage one put on my bike and kept it open with one of the covers. I got the rain sock barbecue i do ride in all weather. I wondered if i need to cover the cleaner with a bag or if the rain sock will do when i wash the bike. I normally use s1000 to clean it, but when i do a pull wash will the suds get through the sock.

Thanks

 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

 

Here's what I do man, I bought a bag of like 20 womens shower caps for a few dollors and I stretch them over my big sucker before I wash....

 

I put a bag over my intake and my exhaust before washing.

at end of wash, I remove the bags and clean those areas with windex.

there can be no good result from getting a bunch of water in there.

Great idea, but what do you cover the air cleaner with ? .....

 

use the rain sock

 

I use plastic bag from the grocery store or target anyplace like that. I just pull it over the heavy breather then tie the handles. Works great and cheap. I save the rain sock from rain. That's just me though.

I have done it both ways, naked and covered. The biggest problem is when it is not covered it seem to drip dirty water on my chrome cam cover for a long time. Even if I blow dry it still drips. I hate the drips.

 

Dude, that was funny!

 

I just wash my bike and don't worry about it.
