    Hi dumb question but i've only been biking for a week so i am quite dumb at the moment.

    The time has come to give my scoot it's first wash and i was just wondering something???

    Do i hose it down all over or sponge it and is their any areas where i shouldn't get water??

    e.g. i'm worried about getting tpoo much water over display and twist grip areas in case it causes damage???

    as the others say...just be careful around the intakes

    These things are designed to be ridden in the wet so are fairly waterproof ;)

    I thought everyone knows washing up liquid fucks your car/scoot up :msn1:

    not only has it got salt in it, but it also strips away the protective oils/waxes
    from your paint work :confused:arc:
