Honda CRF70F 2004 Owner's Manual page 114

We recommend the use of a garden hose to
wash your motorcycle. High pressure
washers (like those at coin-operated car
washes) can damage certain parts of your
motorcycle. If you use a high pressure
washer, avoid spraying the following areas:
wheel hubs
muffler outlet
area under seat
engine stop switch
under fuel tank
drive chain
carburetor
High pressure water (or air) can damage
certain parts of your motorcycle.
Appearance Care
Washing Your Motorcycle with a Mild
Detergent
1. Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with cool
water to remove loose dirt.
2. Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild,
neutral detergent, such as dish washing
liquid or a product made especially for
washing motorcycles or automobiles.
3. Wash your motorcycle with a sponge or a
soft towel. As you wash, check for heavy
grime. If necessary, use a mild cleaner/
degreaser to remove the grime.
4. After washing, rinse your motorcycle
thoroughly with plenty of clean water to
remove any residue.
5. Dry your motorcycle with a chamois or a
soft towel.
