I posted this over on the 1200 forum too, but thought I would put it here too.
I was reading the post about washing a Goldwing, and now have issues. This got me to wondering. I had a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic for 4 years, and never took any precautions when I washed it. I always washed it with the hose, and then used a blow gun at work to dry it. Never had a problem. Some of you talked about using pledge to clean your bike. :shock: I always took pride in my old bike, but there were still times when it got pretty dang dirty, and using pledge on it was not an option. So my question is, are you saying never to use a hose on thee Goldwing? I am really having a hard time grasping this.
So whats every ones thoughts on this? Maybe I am just letting it get too dirty in between washings, but I am really having a hard time believing I can get it clean without using soapy water and a hose.
