About Cleaning

When cleaning your bike:
USE ONLY A MILD SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. Clean water and a common dish washing
liquid will work best.
COVER SENSITIVE AREAS WITH A CLEAN PLASTIC BAG. Secured temporarily with a rubber
band or masking tape, a bag can prevent water damage to various bike components
(bearings, seals, fork / shock adjustment features).
SPRAY OFF BEFORE WIPING. To preserve the appearance of paint, finish, and decals, use a
low pressure water hose to first spray off heavy soils and dirt.
CAUTION
DO NOT power wash or spray water under high pressure to clean. Power washing will
force contaminants into parts where they will promote corrosion, immediately damage,
or result in accelerated wear.
DO NOT use compressed air to dry.
DO NOT use abrasive or harsh chemical cleaner/solvents which can damage the finish
or attack and destroy both the outside and internal parts.
When rinsing, avoid directing the spray directly at shock/fork adjusters or bearings.
