How often you clean your bike????
I clean mine daily, even while in storage during the winter months. I dont like to see dust on my baby....

Am i crazy? or is there anyone else out there that like a super clean bike.

During riding season, I clean her up the minute i return home.....

Cant stand a dirty bike...

I clean mine when it's dirty, certainly not everyday.

I use the Yamaha Spray cleaner, and roughly every other ride she gets a wipedown...When its dirty, I clean it.

You're not crazy...I clean it daily after every ride. And even on the days I'm not riding it. Thanks OCD.
