Dirt bike cleaners?

[Buddy L]

So let me understand. Ive never used any of the dirt bike cleaners stated (just a waterblast, soapy brush and CRC/WD40 afterwards)

wash bike
spay with cleaner
wash bike again

or

spay with cleaner
wash bike
show and shine bike contests afterwards

I am a dynamo convert so easy no scrubbing
wet bike
spray dynamo on
have a beer
squirt with hose
bike is clean

Yea ol dynamo really works eh, tried it and the muck came right off with the hose. Will have to see what happens in winter, but I tried a no name brand before and it didn't work very well at all.

Squirt with hose
Forget the bike and finish off the beer.

Guys, I will stick my neck out again, and repeat what I said in a thread I posted about 2 moths ago. Dirtbike cleaner = MOTOMUCK. Best out there, cleans everything without any damage to any part of yr bike.

Motomuck = $40/5lt vs. Dynamo = $7/5lt (mixed) for the same job.
Your'e having a laugh right?!
I've tried both and I would rather spend my money on more rides or some performance parts for my bikes.
No water blasters anywhere near my bikes thank you very much.

[chadsta]

MOTOMUCK for me. That stuff is awesome!

Obviously got cash to burn.
Dynamo does the same job and is $33/5lt cheaper

I like the sound of the Dynamo wash, what is the mix ratio?

Cheers :-)

Each to their own,

And my mix is a bit strong.
1ltr of Dynamo + 5ltr of Water, mixed well in a 6ltr garden sprayer.

Warehouse sell a 4.4 liter bottle they import for about $14~$15

I use about a liter per wash, which is a bit heavy handed.
@ around $1.70 a wash, and it does all the work, I care not.

Shit thats strong I have a Plessey pump weed sprayer 5L dedicated for this, the full mix does heaps of cleans.
I put 100ml - 150ml in 5L. Light blue colour mix. Especially if your using that 4x strength stuff?
If you need a little more penetration let it sit for 10 mins before you wash it off.
Haven't used a water blaster in 5 years as it pumps the dynamo past the bearing seals and degrades the grease.
Remember to take the filter out (for cleaning and re oiling) and put a filter plug in and do the inside of the airbox to.

I have found over the years that if you use to much it leaves a film on the bike.
More to the point on the discs etc and the brakes get very sad because of this. Clean discs off with thinners every now and then.

Then light spray with CRC, wrap a soaked oil rag around the fork stauntions to put an oil film on and oil chain DONE

Secondly because your using essentially a clothes cleaner hang your pressure suit, Knee guards and pants etc if they are to muddy for the washing machine on the fence and do them to

Yea I know, I "should" use less, but it's what I've always used, and it's always worked so well, so it's hard to change my ways.

To add to your secondly use.

Boots upside down going into the top of a road cone, spray with Dynamo mix, leave for ten, spray off with water.

[Reckless]

Yep good tip for the boots I lean mine upside down on the fence under the other stuff.

You sure that's real Dynamo (not cheap whorehouse knock off) cant find that colour bottle on their web site??

I use the blue ones with the thick blue liquid in.
I have tested most of the household cleaners trying to find something cheaper
NOTHING works like dynamo!! (use it on the road bikes to).
Dunno whats in the shit but its really good.

That whorehouse stuff maybe why your having to use a litre in 5L????

I'm keen to give dynamo a go but I'm not cleaning my bike with shit.

[Reckless]

Its very much up to how you mix it put to much in and it will leave a film get it right and Bingo
