I get mine wipe cleaned, not washed, almost everyday..

I clean it during the weekends.During monssons,if possible i try to clean everyday coz i simply can't tolerate mud on my bike!!

usually i wipe my bike with wet cotton cloth every alternate days.....and wash it every month only....and after washing i do polishing jobs//....

but i would like to suggest u to cover ur bike when not in use....this will really make ur bike new for long time. try it //..

i wash it once a month but wipe it with a dry cloth daily

anyone who is a frequent washer, encountering any rust?? squeaks or rattles??

I do get my bikes washed every alternate day with clean water and once in a week with 3M Car Wash Shampoo.
Usually, this is when I do not polish them (due to paucity of time).

Earlier, I used to wash, polish, wax and detail my bikes every week and cover them when not used. This prevents alternate day washes.

My 18 year old Kinetic Honda was washed almost everyday for the first 15 years and she stands without rust even today

Had a pipeline taken directly from the overhead water tank to create needed force, clean the bike every Sunday sharp at 10 finish by 12:30. Used pressure wash once a month....................then the laziness started sinking in and now it's pressure wash once every two weeks

EDIT: I never touch my bike between the washes, i'm afraid i might scratch the bike trying to dust it off. So i use maximum pressure on the nozzle to clear any loose grit, and then use a regularly washed cloth to lather the bike with shampoo (Amway Car Wash). It takes nearly two hours to wipe the bike dry completely

i ride a honda activa...and i get it washed almost every alternate day..
so far no rusts are visible..!

Every fortnight I get a proper soap wash done, followed by a good polish with the Formula 1.

And a proper greasing to all possible parts including the chain as well.....

i wash my dio once or twice a week and my R1 every weekend after the weekend ride...usually takes about 2 hrs to finish!!...just regular hair shampoo in water and wash off...i use hair shampoo coz its soft...then lube the chain and keep him covered...

i used to wash my bike almost everyday for the 1st 2 weeks. Now i wash it every 2 weeks and apply Formula1 wax polish.

Why should frequent washing produce rust? If that was the case, many of our bikes would become rust buckets in the monsoon.

I'm of the opinion that bikes should be washed regularly and more frequently in rainy season when grime/mud deposits increase. Keeping the surfaces clean preclude the formation of rust.

Areas most prone to rusting (on a Karizma) seem to be the silencer bend pipe and the frame bits ahead of the engine, where deposits are maximum.
On an RX, the only way to keep the mudguards rust-free is to power wash the accumulated grime/mud away - regularly.

Wash, wipe dry then polish - there's no way any surface would rust, unless perhaps you live directly on the coast. Or if the bike gets wet and stays wet (and dirty) regularly.

Most bikes now have a large amount of plastic anyhow. The wheels are mostly alloys and don't rust. It is the frame and chromed areas that are susceptible. Keep them clean and there will be no rust.

My formula for keeping bikes clean is to wash with soap/diesel/kerosene when needed, then dry and buff with a soft, clean cloth. I would *never* use a dry cloth to wipe any surface.

My babes beauty regime.....

I just dust wipe my RX135 daily with a clean soft cloth every time i take her out for a ride, on sundays the naked beauty undergoes wet cloth wipes (this ensures that all interior parts are clean enuf, I also scrub off dust/muck and other residual particles during this wipe seson)

and once in a month a general water wash at a nearby pool (my home lawn) and a full service every 3 months ( unless reqd earlier).

Once in a month that too if it is compulsary

once in two weeks and only if there is mud...
if its a layer of dust i just dust if off..
wash it once a month and apply polish.

bad mistake.
during the monsoon my bike was a mess, i was lazy so i thought i would clean off all the mud once the monsoon is over. BAD IDEA !! the mud eroded the paint and just wouldnt come off !! gave it for wash in service centre and found dark patches everywhere.. so wash you bike atleast once a week in monsoon maybe once a month in summer.
