However, because a clean bike is a very important step to long life, here are a few cleaning ideas that may help you before storing your treasure. 1) Give your bike a thorough cleaning by hosing it down and washing it with a good cleaning gentle wash detergent. This allows you to keep the road grime and insect parts from eating at the various surfaces during your motorcycle’s big sleep. 2) Avoid spraying water directly into the open muffler. If the baffles get wet and are not dried before storage, internal rust could result. 3) Don't spray water directly into air cleaner housing. If the air cleaner becomes saturated it could act as a choke making it harder to start your motorcycle. 4) We suggest drying your bike with a good Chamois. 5) Clean and polish any aluminum and stainless surfaces with the appropriate metal polish. 6) Finally, finish up with a coat of good wax polish on your painted and chrome surfaces.
