How to Clean a Motorcycle

A simple & quick way to wash your motorcycle.

After our three day motorcycle tour in the Adirondack Mountains, my 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 needed to be cleaned. The windshield was covered with dead bugs, and the rims were covered with road grime. In this video, I explain how I typically clean my motorcycle.

Supplies You’ll Need to Clean a Motorcycle:

  • Water Hose
  • Bucket
  • Dishwashing Soap
  • Microfiber cloth / Sponge

Supplies You’ll Need to Clean Motorcycle Rims:

Once the motorcycle is completely clean, I finish off the bike with a wash & wax spray. Using a wax or polish will help keep your motorcycle clean.

Although I have over 12 years of motorcycle experience, I am no expert. So let us know how you clean your motorcycle!
