1. Prepare your cleaning materials.
Check that you have anything you will need before you start:
A pail of pure water
Gentle car soap or mild bike shampoo
A microfiber cloth or a soft sponge
A brush with soft bristles that is ideal for wheels and chains
Chain lubricant and cleaner
Use microfiber rags or dry towels.
2. Prepare the Bike
-
Park your motorbike in a shaded area (direct sunlight can leave water spots).
Allow the engine to cool fully before you start cleaning.
Protect delicate parts such as the exhaust or electrical components by covering them if necessary.
4. Rinse with Clean Water
-
Gently rinse the whole motorbike with fresh water.
This removes loose dust and mud so the paint won’t get scratched during washing.
5. Wash with Soapy Water
In a bucket, combine bike shampoo and water.
Clean the body, seat, side panels, and fuel tank with a sponge or microfiber cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt from wheels, sprockets, and chain covers, use a soft brush.
6. Separately clean the chain
To remove oil and grime, use chain cleaner or spray it on.
Scrub lightly with a brush if necessary.
Before applying lubricant, give it a thorough rinse and allow it to dry completely.
7. Last Rinse
Rinse the motorcycle with fresh water once more.
Make sure there is no soap residue, particularly in the area around the wheels and brakes.
8. Let Your Bike Dry
Use a soft, dry cloth or microfiber towel to wipe the bike.
To stop rust, concentrate on areas that are hidden and where water tends to remain.
9. Concluding Details
Only after the chain is completely dry should you apply chain lube.
For added shine, apply a protective spray or polish to the body.
Make sure there is no soap or oil left on your brakes by checking them twice.
Expert Advice: To keep your FMBMototune motorcycle looking and functioning at its best, wash it frequently, especially after lengthy excursions or wet rides.
