Salt removal?

[Matchbox]

Thanks for replies everyone. Seems like cold water is best solution! Then a big dose of motivation. Cleaning bikes is my least favourite pastime. In fact my 900 has not been cleaned since I got it last May and over 3000mls.. But of course no salt on roads.

I believe M&P sell a set of brushes of various shapes. But plenty on Amazon etc..

Don't worry you're not alone. My bike is ungaraged outside the front of my terraced house so not an ideal location. I doubt I could total 10 washes in the 5.5yrs I've had it, usually washed for definite for the annual MOT. I simply don't worry about it, or have the 'cleaning' motivation, a bit of dirt and grime just shows it is actually used .... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Welcome to the club! In fact I do wonder if some dirt (other than salt)has protective qualities?

When I used to ‘scramble’ many years ago I quite liked to leave the bike covered in mud to represent a good day out!
