I will never spray and soak my bike to allow moisture getting into parts of the bike. Just use a clean cloth to wipe it clean will do the job.

Very satisfying to watch thankyou, and first ever video I have watched with no narration was great too! If you want to remove the Triumph factory stickers I got mine off with a hair dryer & gently getting the corner up with your fingernail. Doesn't take long

A great video only I'd do certain areas more carefully to avoid water ingress. I have a couple of questions, do you think this would work for the Rocket 3 GT and if so when can you come and do mine 😂

A good idea would be to cover the air inlets in front of the fuel tank. Water can get into the air box and soak the filter.

I've learnt over the years wash your bike if dirty but a good wipe over and wax. keep that water away from the speedo ,jet wash the wheels it'll save your knuckles but no where else !

Thank you for this video. I just bought a rocket GT and the manual says to cover the handlebar clutch , break and exhaust outlets with bags. What is your idea on this ? What spray do you use in the last stage ? The manual also advises to grease the bolts after each wash. Do you do this ?
@birdoneword

I would do all that the manual suggests and I didn’t grease the bolts but the spray I used will have protected them to some extent. It’s GT-85, it acts like Teflon coating but any anti-corrosion will do. I think the main bit it drying and getting rid of all the water, ideally it’s best to use an air blower of some kind. Thanks for watching and I hope the reply has helped.

Way too much water pressure and too close on the first spray - you'll push water in where it shouldn't be (like seals, bearings and electrics) or take paint off. The second spray pressure was better.
