Outer engine cleaning
« on: April 13, 2017, 03:08:40 PM »
Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone had some tips on cleaning the engine area on bike. More specifically the throttle body area gets pretty grimed up from riding. Thanks and happy riding :riding:

Proprietary engine cleaner stiff brush, tooth brush ( not the wife's), bottle brush and low pressure rinse with hose or car wash.

Warm engine, simple green, leave 10 mins, simple green again and hose off.
