(FalconofFreedom @ Jun. 14 2007,16:10) I never will use a Hose & water on any Bike I own....
I use Windex & Wax.........WD40 on a few things once in a while.

I see a lot of Harley and Goldwing riders using Water out of a Hose or ...god forbid.. Powerwashing.

All that water finds its way into nooks and rusts or dulls finish on chrome & aluminum parts.

And CHAINS hate water...as well as Electrical Connectors
and wires and Wheel Bearings and Fuse Blocks and Gauges and Switches and key holes and Cables!

You better reconsider using windex on your painted surfaces, seriously. I find it very hard to believe water  from a hose would find its way into anything (wheel bearing, electrical connectors and so on) worth concerning yourself with. The chain is another story but with proper cleaning interval, proper lubing will prevent rust and extend its life.
Moisture is your enemy! Keep your girl covered,on a pad (not a tampon  

 ) inside your garage, if you that worried.

(05BusaLe @ Jun. 14 2007,21:17) I only use lemon pledge and a clean soft cloth to buff it up!
It removes dirt and waxes all in one step, I never use a hose!

Do you get the lemon fresh scent while riding?

Water hose here as well.

Yes I do, smells like a new coffee table

I know this asked before at one time (by me) but now I can say that water is ok.... hell, I got POURED ON just a few days back by a massive thunderstorm I didn't expect in Atlanta... and my Busa was killed by rain! But.... the rain/water/wind did no harm. It survived!!!

... just like you will if you keep riding the best muthafuckkkin bike ever created by the hands of man!!!!!!!

hehe

I can't believe this thread is still going!?!? What, did you buy the bike to ride the crap out of it, or to sit and stare at it? Ride the piss out of it, wash it - ride the piss out of it, wash it

repeat as needed until it's a POS and then go buy a new one



Problem solved - your welcome

While reading that comment I choked on my beer and it when through my nose. That was seriously funny.
