Wanting to tear my 350sxf apart and clean it up real nice just for looks and to prevent unneccesary wear on stuff. I am not gonna go crazy like pulling motor and all that but am gonna pull all the plastics off and scrub them down. Plan on using simple green and some magic erasers and a brush and toothbrush. Any other cleaners that wont hurt anything? Also taking the stains off the frame and factory plastic skidplate? Both look rough. Also any advice to take all the mud stains out of the airbox? The bottom of it is stained (not pulling it off because i have no idea how on these bikes). Also what do you guys do about dirt under the seat where all the eletrics are at? Was thinking duct tape and a trash bag to cover it?

2. Dry w/ leaf blower and lube chain/wheels/hubs/cases with WD-40. Wipe header, exhaust, frame with WD as well.
3. SC-1 on plastics, forks, tank, clamps, bars.

1.Hose off heavy mud/dirt.
2. Let water evaporate off a bit (10-15min)
3. Spray entire bike heavily with Shout (Forget Simple Green, that will dull and tarnish your ride!)
3. Use brush to scrub seat and any particularly dirty areas (toothbrush for tight spots)
4. Hose down entire bike
5. Start it up to help dry things off
6. Lube chain
7. Spray everything with Bell-Ray silicone spray (cover your brakes tho!)
8. Admire bike and look over/prepare for next ride!
Pit Row
Chain WD-40
Literally everything else on the bike or within a 20 foot radius when i am holding the can, SC1
Except your seat. That shit will ruin your day.
What WD-40 are you guys using as far as dispenser goes? I HATE that new smart straw. It never works right and the cans I buy won't hardly spray without the smart straw in place.
I saw you at some races a few years ago. I hope all is going well with you and yours. The last time I think I saw you was when you had a wreck at the end of the start straight at Mclarty.
Great tip on the bagged air filter. I have never heard that one before.
