Steam cleaner

Post by Noggin the Nog »

Anyone used a steam cleaner on their bike? I've got a Karcher unit and was wondering if it would damage any parts, obviously wouldn't be using it on the plastics.
Thinking it might save me a bit of time and elbow grease.

I'd be a bit careful that you don't get any water in the cvt exhaust/outlet on your Burgy.
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

Definitely do not Steam clean unless you want to strip down and regrease everything.

Have a look at this thread. Apparently it can become a rodent hotel too!
