How often do you clean/wash/detail your bike? - Page 4

Sixxxxer · 02-17-2009, 01:00 AM

I havent washed it myself since I've owned it...But I did have three girls in bikinis do it for me at a Benefit for a lost rider.

Does that count??

P.s. Mine is Dirty as FUCK.

as far as all other maintenance, it is done religously, Amsoil synthetic with suzuki filter every 2,500 miles , chain clean and adjusted, clean/fresh brake fluid, cables lubed,etc. i take care of my stuff, not gonna take care of all the other stuff and not keep it looking good, yeah i'd rather ride than clean, but i dont ride all day everyday, so when i'm at home, i can just go out to the mancave and shine my baby

when i sell a bike you can tell its been taken care of

I'm with you on all accounts.

My bike gets washed occasionally but has never been waxed.

z06boy · 02-17-2009, 11:09 AM

I clean/wipe them down (well the wife does

) each time we head out.

I'll bet that mine sees more wax than it does pavement. arghhhhhhh....... I try to keep it wiped off and usually put a coat of wax on it before I head out, or after I get back.

Note to self: its okay to buy a used bike from DLIT, Marko138 and possibly Azoomm, disregard all others!

I KID, I KID.....kinda, not really

You're probly not far off with that assessment.

Never...It only gets washed when my boyfriend does it. And thats maybe once every 3 months.

Meh. I'd rather have a bike that has been regularly maintained than washed regularly. My bike has been very well maintained, just not washed frequently. Flat black and wax don't mix anyway.
