lol, cleaning is easy work and does not cost a lot of money to get your business started compared to a lot of other things, i do like cleaning except for the part where you got to pick stuff up and put it away haha. vacuuming floors, wiping down counters, pressure washing is kind of relaxing to me, i do enjoy cleaning my bike and making it gleam but i hate washing cars and i hate putting laundry away, that is the worst haha.

I rarely clean mine (cars or bikes.) I do like a clean windshield though. And face guard.

i rarely cleaned my gz but the new bike has lots of chrome and a super shiny paint job. i feel its worth the time to ride around on a shiny machine.

Don't polish or Armorall the seat unless you want to slide all over the place.

lol, i use bick 4 leather conditioner, no slipping and sliding around but if you set on it any time soon after you put it on there you might get some of it on your pants and that stuff does not smell good at all. no one wants to walk around with s stinky butt all day haha but once its all dry it makes the seat look great.

Works great.

[dannylightning]

it cleans it quite nicely.

Agreed. It's a lot better than Armor-all, which will slide your ass right off the bike (literally) with the first quick turn or fast stop.

I just checked the gas mileage on my S50 again - went 118mi., filled it up to the filler neck as I always do, took 2.1 gal = 56 mpg, which is what I have consistently gotten with all the different types of riding I do - mostly shorter trips of 15-30 miles, some in town traffic, some more open roads. Occasionally I've gotten 58 mpg. So I'm pretty happy with that.
