Got caught in the rain and came home and used the leaf blower to dry it. Let me tell u it was awsome only had to shammy it alittle and that was it. No water spots left or anything awsome. Just thought i would let everyone know

ok ok, i got to ask - WTF? i mean what does it matter about water spots or getting caught in the rain? it's not like the bike is going to rust from one rain or be hurt - and plus we have to wash our bikes every once in awhile.. so I dont get it, someone fill me in on this

no but when people try to sell their bikes a couple of them are like "it's never been in the rain.." like it's a fatigue piece of machinary.. i wouldnt ride it in the rain anyways, scared of no traction haha..

Have ya'll ever heard of "Plexus"? This stuff cleans and polishes. Your bike will get dirty and I don't have a lot of time to spend cleaning it. Plexus is quick! Spray, rub in, and then rub again with a clean dry cloth. Will not leave any waxy residue, just a nice shine.

I was just leavin a good tip about gettin the water off ur bike. i never said anything about it hurting the bike, i just dont like water spots so this was the best way to avoid that

Yeah I'm with ya. I don't like 'em either. I have an 06 CBR 1000RR all black and if you don't try to keep it clean then it's just fast. I like to try to keep it fast and beautiful!
