sherco pete Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 exilent for the engine and wheels.special with a bit of pro clean.but mine does tend to take off the paint work and decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta boy Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 their great if you have got a compressor to get all the water out from all the bearings otherwise they are crap just use a powerfull hose and some pro clean + soapy water for the stuborn bits of mud and rub it with a sponge and it does not force eney water into your air box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc2002 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I got 1, never use it on the bike though. I used to, but found that it blew my bearings out and so I whiched to normal hose. Although they are exellent when you come back from the trial and the bike is plastered in mud and the pressure washer just blasts it straight off. Normal hose suits me fine though.

monty-python Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Yeah, keep them away from wheel bearings and suspension linkages and they are ok. they seem to get to the places a hose can't. And they do p*+S you off when they casually blow your stickers clean off the plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuhrc Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Jeysus lads......If you're going to the expense of buying a washer use your heads and buy one with variable pressure. No ruining wheel or suspension bearings, no blowing stickers or coatings off plastics. Been using them for years, never had problems, just drop the pressure back. Even on a low pressure they still are much better than a hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Agree with stu, lower the pressure or keep a good distance away......How can you get your bike clean with just a normal hose?? it must take forever! I've had an Karcher electric washer for the past 12 years and it's still going strong....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark christopher Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 agree with the above 2 posts Its not the pressure washer that does the damage its the person using it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Don't understand when people say IT blew my stickers/paint/grease out of bearings etc etc. Who the hell was standing there aiming the damn thing at the stickers/paint/bearings etc!!

dfwilson Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 (edited) Mine is a 4 gpm @ 3500 psi hence the 20 feet away. Bigger in not always better. Though it works great on a drilling rig. Edited February 24, 2004 by dfwilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 People will have different opinions as depending where you ride some mud cleans off easier than other. Where I live a pressure washer is a must. However when I used to ride a lot around Matlock area I never needed to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
