Keep it Clean with 24MX Cleaning & Maintenance Accessories
Riding off-road is an action-packed sport. Unfortunately, the terrain and weather mean your bike will get covered in dirt, dust, mud and grime. If you leave your motorcycle caked in gunge, though, you may be storing problems for later. 24MX has the solution with a motocross cleaner kit to help you get into every nook and cranny. Stock fasteners are not the most robust of components; leaving them festering under a layer of dirt, or wet mud may result in corrosion. Also, forgetting to clean them for a long time may make maintenance or repair work much harder.
Dirt not only hides damage, but also it can cause damage. For example, frame rails rust just like wheel spokes. Moreover, missing nuts and bolts often go undiscovered until it's too late. As for causing damage, rust-covered fork legs, damage fork seals quickly, and grime-clogged air filters can cause engine issues. Make cleaning a part of your post-ride ritual for two valid reasons. First, you are protecting your investment by using a motorbike cleaner kit. Second, and more importantly, cleaning your dirt bike allows you to check for potential wear or damage before it becomes a big deal in the field.
The importance of the correct motorcycle cleaner products
Most dirt bikes benefit from a post-ride jet wash. However, if you get too carried away with the spray gun, you can swamp the electrics. Also, pools of water may collect in the exhaust or intake. The best way to clean a motorcycle is to get up close and personal with a good quality dirt bike cleaner dispensed in a hand-pumped spray bottle. This method is the best way of dissolving crud as it gets into all the nooks, crannies and hard-to-reach parts. Plus, by cleaning in this way, damage is way easier to spot.
In this section, you will also find cleaning accessories, including wheel cleaners which will make the job easier. If you need to clean more than one dirt bike, you can make short work of dirt and grime with 5L concentrate sprays canisters. Once you're done with the dirt bike cleaner, look for high gloss coatings. You can use these spray-on products for plastic, vinyl, rubber and carbon fibre. These give a protective coating, making cleaning easier after your next ride. Getting covered in grease and mud is an inevitable consequence of cleaning and maintaining your dirt bike. Thankfully, 24MX has an answer to this problem, with disposable gloves to protect your hands.
Motocross boots are closest to the dirt, and a drying rack is the best option once you have cleaned them thoroughly. Whether you ride on the track or the trail, looking after your dirt bike is essential, so check out the full range of motocross cleaner kits from 24MX.
