My Army bike (1952WLA) gets ridden a lot. Maybe not the most miles, but the most start-ups and shut-offs, and daily commutes. I like it 'cause I'm not so fussy about gettin' it dirty or dusty. I don't think I've ever power washed it, and it shows. I just wipe it off with rags. The air cleaner oils gets dirty, so I clean it periodically as directed. Sometimes I look at the bike and see nothing special - and other times I'm "way into Harley WLAs" and can't get enough. I'm weird.
I'd think you could ride for years before cleaning that thing out.
ReplyDeleteThat is unless your riding off road in dusty conditions.
