You never wash a motorcycle with a jetwasher. On a scooter you can probably get away with just foaming cleaning the plastics and seat and then rinsing it off with a normal hose pipe but that idiot sprays everywhere with both cleaning foam and jetwashing even the air intake and under the seat. You dont do that under the hood of a car so why would anyone think its a good idea to do this under the hood of a bike.

Or you can be like me. Let nature take its course and allow the rain to wash it once in a blue moon...I wake up in the morning and nice clean lol

Thank you rain :)

I'd go with Mr. XT on this one.
Foam and low pressure hose.  Sure, just don't spray the engine or air cleaner, & go easy on the wheels.

I have used a wheel cleaner at those on a few bikes.  Basically the same as at home with the canned stuff and a hose..
Those run very low pressure since you don't want to force water & cleaner into bearings and the like.

High pressure.  No.
