Hi everyone... i just bought an XL-50 Sportster (Anniversary Model) about two weeks ago and am luving it, but it needs to be cleaned up a bit... Here's the stupid question... Should i just wash the bike like i would a car? Hose it down, wash with soapy water, rinse and chamois? I am concerned with the open engine, wiring, etc that this might not be the way to go... Any advice for the NooB here?
Welcome from the Home of your Sportster (Kansas City) and a fellow XL-50 rider. Enjoy the bike and yes, you can wash it like a car (using automotive soap) lots of water and blow-dry the bike after you are done.
PS...please add your bike's color and number on the XL-50 post under the Sportster forum.
Thank you all for the warm welcome... An im off to post the number in the Sportster forum...
