[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 908538, member: 20280"] I'm lazy so I use a pressure washer I got at Lowes. 1st, plug the pipe then lay it over on the ground and rinse all the big chunks off. I use the pro-clean 1000 stuff too and it works great. After getting the big stuff off I spray on the proclean and let it sit for a few seconds (that's all it takes) then rinse with power washer. Next I put it back on the stand and rerinse. Spray on more proclean and go to town. I do try to avoid the bearing areas. For the PC pipe (works) , that's what I have too. Mine has no finish on iy so it will rust in a mere few minutes. I spray a little simple green on a scotch brite pad and get the pipe wet and go to town. In only a few minutes I have a pipe that looks nickel plated and it stays that way till the next cleaning job. The last thing I do is clean the chain & sprockets using the same technique. After I'm done with the water I use an air compressor the get all the water off I can then dry the rest. I only use WD40 on the chain and then I wipe that off after a few minutes. Pull the air filter after every ride and clean. Usualy I lube the chain before I go riding just to make sure there's is no water still trapped in the chain. I know using a pressure washer isn't the best thing to do to a bike and for that reason is probably why I change bearings more often that I probably should have to. That's okay, I like a clean bike so I can tell if anything is about to fall off. My finishing touches are to spray some of the proclean 1000 bike polish on basicaly everyting except where I sit and grip the bike and the brakes. I use that because it works good and I'm addicted to the smell of it. :) [/QUOTE]
