I'm not cheap you know
But you can beta test my bike dryer lol
The thing is I actually enjoy cleaning stuff. Especially bikes and cars
A close look over after every clean helps you spot potential problems. My previous 1200GSA had a good clean before my Morocco trip last year and I spotted the rear ESA weepingit was replaced under warranty 1 week before a 3000 mile trip. Had I not noticed it, it would have been a holiday wrecker
Everyone has their little quirks and mine is keeping my "expensive" purchases looking like new for as long as possible
Fitted MRA touring screen today with cymarc screen supports and buffeting cured
Mudsling when it turns up
Now..... Air blaster bike dryers.....

Well I've invested a lot of my hard earned into a bike I enjoy riding. I've not "invested" to make money
I see you use yours off-road and I watched your videos and much respect as you are a far better rider than I for what you did
But I do not just rinse salt off, I'm an amateur detailer so if I'm going to clean something it's going to be done well and I enjoy doing it
Jon
...and you sold your last one for a pushbike and scooter
I thought the GSerway was ACF50 late Sept, occasional sprinkles to wash the salt off then clean at the end of March
I think I might need a ramp to clean mine properly.
There is always this option Rich: http://www.shinybikesyndrome.co.uk/new/
You can claim the cost back as part of your accident compensation
When I first got my 1150GS, way back in 2002. My dealer of choice at the time SPC, sent me a complimentary Muc-off cleaning kit. I used it occasionally.
Well I might eventually paint the panels white and keep the seat blue aka the new adv SE
Very Nice... PM me when you've had enough....
Please, please don't stop cleaning and looking after them...when it's 8 years old and £6k I can look forward to buying a nice tidy bike
Happy to help, without gimps like us, the Second Hand market could look quite shabby

Still got mine from SPC in '06. Never used it. I should sell it!

Was warned by the dealer I use, not to use this stuff as it is "not compatible with BMW motorcycles"

Each to their own but I'm glad I'm not the analy retentive detailing freak on here

Odd, as I spray Muc-off on mine, with no adverse result at all.
Probably the dealer just wanted to sell you something else. Lard probably, as you live in the north.

I don't think muc off is too clever on BMW engine paint and wheels mate, it's acidic or something along the lines of being more aggressive than other cleaners.
I think I might need a ramp to clean mine properly.<br/> you will now!
<br/> you will now!
