How do you keep your baby clean? I mean the engine.



I was thinking about using Gunk and a power washer or hose like a car engine. I am hesitant though. Should I use Gunk and a garden hose instead?



What do you do to keep the engine clean? I have zero leaks and it is a 1984 GL1200I.



suggestions?

I recommend S100. Just mist it on, let it sit for a few minutes (make sure your engine is cool and not in direct sunlight.) Hose it off with the highest pressure you can provide. I dont use a power washer. Just a decent hose nozzle will do. Actually you can clean your entire bike with S100. Don't let it dry on the bike! If you do, you will have to repeat the process. Its a little pricey (about 20.00 a bottle) but it is the best. You don't really want to use water on your bike very often though. Just clean with the S100 when she gets real grimey. Otherwise just spot clean with a mild detergent and a rag. Also, try to minimize using S100 on sensitive electronics as much as possible.
