wes0778 Posted July 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2011 I think my scoot has had it's last bath!!! Last few times I washed it things went wrong! Just before Doodle's MD gave it a bath and one of the wind deflectors, by the right front fork, fell off. The good news there is it fell off in my driveway. Washed it before MD in Ohio, the other deflector is on the highway somewhere north of Cincinnatti Today I washed it to go to kbran's MD and now the intercom sounds like the fuel pump is running in my helmet headset!!!

camos Posted July 2, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 2, 2011 It's not the washing your bike doesn't like, it's the MD's that are too traumatic for it to stand so it falls to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-muffin Posted July 2, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2011 Have you tried the gentle cycle? OH and maybe you shouldn't put it in the dryer. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albyzee Posted July 2, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 2, 2011 I never wash my bike. If it needs cleaning I will use Griot's Speed Shine or Harley spray cleaner and polish at least once a week. It's a lot of work but at least it looks good. Where I live if I don't do it rust will start taking over and I do not want that to happen cause I LOVE my bike.

Monty Posted July 2, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 2, 2011 I wash mine all the time, and have never had a problem. Dry the connectors out with contact cleaner, then add a bit of dielectric grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
