Old fashioned way wash mit just keep rolling bike ahead you will figure it out.

+1! Only takes one 1/2 wheel rotation to get the whole rear and the fronts where the brake calipers prevent getting the whole wheel in one shot.

Get one of those roller thingees, lift the back, set the wheel on the rollers. In neutral, small dish mop, wheel cleaner and hose. Lift the wheel again, pull out the roller, done.

What is the easiest way you have found to clean up the rear wheel? My hand doesn't fit very well, due to the tight spaces.

I have a mini floor jack that I use to lift the spyder just ahead of the rear wheel on the shock mount. I jack the rear wheel off the ground and turn the key to on so I can release the hand brake. Now the rear wheel spins freely so you can place a wet rag inside the wheel and spin it. Make sure to block the front wheels before releasing the hand brake. The same mini floor jack also works well under the front lower control arms to raise the front wheels one at a time off the ground so they can spin freely. You can clean the front ones just as easily this way. You can find those mini floor jacks at most automotive supply stores. IMG_20160515_1128039.jpg

That is the one I have, too! Works great.
I like the bikini bike wash, but they skip the rear wheel!

can we jack up just the back wheel? using the shock?

Yes,but use a piece of 2x4 between to protect the shock and bracket. Have done it many times and seen it done at dealer

I just took my 2015 RT in for its 3000 mile service. When I got home I noticed something different about the bike. Not only had they performed the recommended service but the bike looked like it had been professionally detailed. The brake dust and road crud had also been removed from the wheels. Talk about SERVICE! Two thumbs up for Ingles Performance in Phoenix, NY.
