A good pre ride tip is to spray under your mud guards with wd40 or similar,this will help mud and dirt come off easier. you can buy an exhaust plug that fits in the end of your muffler to prevent water getting in. leave the chain on until you have finished washing the bike.high pressure are fine to use just avoid directly spraying around wheel bearings and swing arm pivots. i use cheep degreaser on the chain and back rim and any car wash for the rest of the bike.
when your done and the bike is clean and dry i use a spry on furniture polish on all the plastics, it will help to keep them looking new and make them easier to clean.then remove the chain wipe it clean and dry with a rag then hang it somewhere warm and spray it with chain wax,while you let it hang for a bit remove your air cleaner and wash it,dry it and re oil it.re fit the chain and adjust it. a quick spray around all the pivots like foot pegs with wd 40 or similar, and your good to go again.
