Hi all,

i wanted to know whats the general opinion on washing bikes, and cleaning them.

generally i have seen people washing their bikes once a week, and then later complaining of issues with rusting or electrical problems.

IMO, bikes should be washed once a month or lesser even, and should generally be kept clean with a cloth and good storage ( keeping covered, or in a location where dust accumulation is lesser). This helps increase the life of the machine, avoids rusting, and lowers the onus on the owner to keep the bike clean.

What are your opinions/suggestions etc???

Should i add a poll to this???
