Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep your new
pit bike looking like new for a long time.
Frequent cleaning also identies you as an owner
who values your bike and keeps it well-maintained.
A pit bike that is kept clean is easier to clean up af-
ter usage, and a clean bike is also easier to inspect
and more pleasant to service.
While you’re cleaning the bike, be sure to look for
damage, worn parts, and gasoline or oil leaks.
To clean your motorcycle, you may use
- water only
- a product made specically for washing cars and
motorcycles
- a mild neutral detergent, such as a dish washing
liquid, and water
- a mild spray-and-wipe cleaner/polisher
- a mild spray-and-rinse cleaner/degreaser and
water
Avoid all products that contain harsh detergents
chemical solvents or abrasives; these cleansers
could damage the metal, paint, and plastic nishes
on your bike.
If your pit bike is still warm from recent usage, give
the engine and exhaust system time to cool off.
We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash
your motorcycle. High pressure washers
(like those at coin-operated car washes) can dam-
age certain parts of your motorcycle. If you
must use a high pressure washer, avoid spraying
the wheel hubs, mufer outlet, the under-seat area
and the engine off or off/run switch.
Always cover or plug the end of the mufer, and
cover the air lter if it is exposed.
NOTICE! High pressure water (or air) can damage
certain parts of your pit bike.
