am finding keeping the gtr1400 clean is not easy! ok theres more of hard places to reach to. so any tips would be most welcome! please dont say use power wash. they cause more trouble than there worth! have allways used good old elbow grease. but just woundering how the rest of us cope! have you found a easier way!!!! if so spill the beans please.
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

I  use Muc off on the mountain bike. It's great on fresh dirt spray it on, leave for a couple of mins and rinse off with the hose pipe. I'll be trying it on the GTR next time it gets dirty!

I tend to hose the bike first, then spray some Muc Off on it everywhere. Leave it a few minutes and then hose off again. Then I'll shampoo it, another rinse, dry it and then polish it.

Its very easy to take the fairing off as well, so if you really wanted to be extra thorough you could even do that.  ;D

I do know someone who doesn't wash their bike hardly at all, but I'm mentioning no names. They know who they are! ;D

Same as LW, but add ACF50 to finish off. And then leave for 6 months or so  ;D

Yea yea .. as above with Mr Wolf .. the Muc Off is fantastic .. I have only just started to use it in preference to Auto Glym wheel cleaner, which I have to say was very good, but MO just cleans everything off and leaves nothing behind ... get some now, oh and use a CLEAN sponge otherwise you may end up scratching your lovely paintwork.
