2020 F3 Limited - is it a problem keeping the exposed frame clean?

[Gedge]

I have a 2015 RS that I'm looking to trade in for 2020 F3 limited.
My question is, with all of the exposed frame parts and engine area,
is it a problem keeping all that area clean and how would you do it.
Thanks for any input.

That answer will be up to you. I have washed my new 2019 F3L once since I bought it in December 2019. It still looks pretty good. :yes:

Have 18 F3L

Stays pretty clean

Same way I wash anything... power washer and bucket of soap. It is built to take getting wet.

When I get back home from a ride, for decades I have been going over my bike with a California Duster. Because I do that, I very seldom need to wash the bike. The duster is stupid easy to use and the dirtier it gets, the better it cleans. Never wash it!

But not to have water shot at it at very high pressures.

On your RS all of that covered area is dirty, you just don’t see it. I hose everything down then wash it with soap and rinse.

I would be very careful about what you " power wash " on any Spyder / Ryker ...... Yes it's supposed to be " weather resistant " but 150psi or more is pushing that capability ..... Mike :thumbup:

I take a blow gun to it after every ride and wash it once in a while. I use the WORX Hydro-Shot power washer which is battery powered and the high pressure is only around 350-500 psi. Plus it has a hose that you can put into a bucket of soapy water or plain water and it sucks it out so you don't need to have a hose near by.

Thanks everyone, I love all the good info I get from this forum. Looks like the F3 so bad to clean after all.
