Answer: “Listen, a pressure washer is a tool, not a toy. If you blast water directly into your wheel bearings, your swingarm pivots, or your electrical connectors, you’re just forcing water past the seals. It’s going to sit in there and rot the bike from the inside out. Use a bucket and a sponge for the sensitive bits. If you have to use the pressure wand, stay back five feet and never aim it at anything that moves or has a wire coming out of it. Simple as that.”
