Hi guys welcome back to another MD video today we're gonna be washing the bike we
got a toy run to go on tomorrow with some friends and there's gonna be
hundreds of other bikes and we need the street triple looking good so today I'm
going to be showing you how I wash my bike and get it looking really good for
the road so stick around
So first thing I would have done usually is take the hose pipe and wash
off all the dust in the so on that's on the bike get it nice and clean before we
start washing and scraping it all around but seeing as we're in a water crisis
here in South Africa I can't really do that so I'm gonna take muc off some
motorcycle cleaner spray it on all the dirt and grime get it nice and loose and
then we're gonna jump right in to watch
bucket of water some automotive wash soap let's get to it
okay so far so good I like to do a twice over so I push it up forward a little
bit you know get to those extra spots in the rims you couldn't reach the first
time and then we have a look for if we missed anything and we need to
go back and just touch up those last bits but after that I'm gonna rinse it
off and then we're going to get to the detail
looking good after the rinse we gave it a quick wipe down just to make sure we get rid
of any of that excess water to get rid of any watermarks if it dries out and
now comes the fun part it's time to clean the chain okay so what you want to
do is get yourself a good chain cleaner I use muc off chain cleaner works
really well I know it looks like I'm using a lot of muc off products but
it's because I got it as a gift also I went ahead and gotten some of these wire
brushes that's gonna be for afterwards but first let's get to putting on this
chain cleaner and and then we'll get to it, you know having a track stand or like
a pitbull stand or one of those stands for your bike if you've got spools at
the back this is really going to help for when you're cleaning your chain
and then lubing your chain afterwards but if you like me and you a bit cheap and you
haven't bought one this is a nice alternative solution I'm gonna
demonstrate how this works this is a piece of aluminium bar which I made a
notch out of covered in tape so it doesn't scratch up the bike I know
you're gonna call me stupid and I'm a dumbass if the bike falls but I'll demonstrate
how it works and we'll see how this goes
as you can see it's a little bit sketchy but what you do is you pivot the bike on
the kickstand and the front wheel pull it back up on the back of the bike so it
pivots up and then just slot it in and it gives you just that inch off the
ground so that you can freely spin the back wheel making it easier to get to
the whole chain
now that we got that done we're going to wait for the change to dry before we
hit it with the chain lube and while we wait we're going to take our all-purpose
lubricant and anything that pivots or moves we're gonna Lube it up
now that that's done we're gonna hit the seats with some motorcycle protect keep
it nice and protected from the elements
let's lube up that chain same processes as before we're gonna lift the back wheel
and then spin it and lubricate the chain
there you go guys we are done we washed it we lubed it it's detailed it's
finished it looks really good that's how I clean my bike I hope you enjoyed this
