Answer: 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. We recommend using Simple Green and a toothbrush for wheels, calipers, frame and suspension. Use car wash soap for body work/paint then rinse with a hose sprayer. If you must use a pressure washer, stay back 4 or 5 feet and never aim at anything that moves or has wires coming out of it. Simple as that.
