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 wouldn't do it.
That said it appears he has done it before and drove away after. Kudos to the Agilty.

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.
