The one on the top is for "sucking".  The one below it is for "blowing"

I use a water based truck under bonnet cleaner on the motor/transmission only. The painted surfaces get a wipe down with a silicone based protectant. Brings that beautiful fast red colour up a treat. No water goes near the dash.

Not that I'm an expert at cleaning anything, much less a motorcycle :rolleyes:, but I find the best way to thoroughly dry a bike is to ride it dry.

The Breva will get a wash in North Carolina this weekend, matter of fact if it was outside now it would be getting a bath.

We know a fellow who took his Jackal to the car wash and the starter quit working. He replaced the starter and the next time he went to the car wash...... Wound up getting yet another starter.

I know guys like that too.   I would never turn one of those liquid sand-blasters on one of my bikes!   Water will end up where rainwater and road splash would never invade when pushed with 1000 PSI ....
