Can a motorcycle be directly washed with water?
1 Answers
It is possible to wash with water, but it is best to do so after the engine has cooled down. Precautions for washing a motorcycle with water: Avoid using excessive water pressure. Do not directly spray high-pressure water at the engine under the seat, carburetor, air filter, or various switches. Instead, use lower water pressure or indirect side washing. Using a toothbrush for cleaning: When washing the motorcycle, make sure to clean the lower part of the engine and the cooling fins thoroughly. It is recommended to use a toothbrush dipped in detergent for cleaning. This method not only enhances appearance but also makes it easier to detect issues like engine oil leaks. Drying the entire motorcycle with a cloth: After washing, dry the entire motorcycle with a dry cloth, especially areas such as the ignition switch, dashboard, left and right handlebars, spark plug, and fuel tank cap. Pay special attention to removing the spark plug cap and shaking it a few times to remove any water inside the sleeve, as this could otherwise affect ignition.
