Hand wash at home with a garden hose, bucket of soapy car wash, microfiber towel. Use a brush on the wheels and rims. Dry it with a Leaf Blower and chamois, then use a good quality Spray wax on the surfaces. I have always used WD-40 to clean and lube my chain. Works great and you can buy it anywhere in different sizes. It does not harm the O-rings.
Step one…DO MOT USE PRESSURE WASHER. 😂I MEAN I might use light pressure for on top of the exhaust bc it gets a lot of gunk on it but you have to be very careful using pressure. Just my own opinion. Everybody’s got theirs.
I really wish I didn’t have to go to the car wash. For whatever reason my apartment has no water hook up. Really sucks. Best I can do for now I guess loo
I dont know if this is still relevant for you but regarding chain cleaner and lubricant id recommend the videos from Fortnine for a better idea of what should be used. I dont have a bike but Ipone chain cleaner is the best based on his results and regular gear oil should be used to lube the chain. Ipone is a little pricey but it works the best and gear oil should be mentioned in the bike's manual. To each their own though, you work with what you got. Good thing kawasakis can handle a beating lol
Yea after this I got a good system going. I live fortnine definitely one of my go to channels for real in depth stuff. That’s where I went for good tire videos too. Real good stuff
What do you use for chain lube? Couldn't see the label when you showed it. I have yet to lube mine even though I've had it for about 3 weeks. Only have 50 miles on it and haven't ridden in rain. I know I need to start that though.
Right now I’m just using regular lube. It’s called MPPL (yellow can) got it from Amazon for the mini bike and just using it till it’s gone. I wanna find a good one to use as well. This isn’t bad and if I’m being honest I probably couldn’t tell the difference between this and something else. I need to do some research on good lube
They had 2 bikes in stock and when I went to buy my 2023 650. Your paint scheme and the metallic graphene steel/ebony. I was mind F####D on which color to get 😂. That pearl is 🔥 I just figured we can always wrap it😉
They were not sure if they were gonna get mine in or not. All they knew is they were getting one and that was it I had the same mentality regardless, I was gonna wrap it. Lol. Love white bikes. They just pop
I dropped mine too, twice now. Luckily just minor scratches on left faring nothing major. Gonna make a video soon on what caused me to drop it and how to prevent in the future as could have easily been prevented knowing what I know now. Been riding the 650 about 2 months now, transitioned from dirtbikes but LOTS of differences. Also, I got chain lube. Haven’t used any yet but it’s due as was just washed. No rear stand yet are you just rolling and spraying with some cardboard or protection from overspray? Or you get a stand? Btw, Great vids my dude keep up the good work!
@@Ninja_On_Wheelz appreciate that. I actually just made a video about how I clean mine too lol. No stand. But spray, move forward, spray. I use my rag to guard the over spray. I need a stand bad lol. It would have made my oil change so much easier.
@@Ninja_On_Wheelz I Have you're exact bike as well. Bought it 2 months ago. Went on a night ride and dropped it coming to a stop on the right. Worse thing is that there was no damage until I panicked trying to pick it up and dropped it on the left! So stupid. Had to repair my stator cover and had someone repaint the left fairing. Sucks with owning a motorcycle as I guess like everyone says its not if but when u drop..... Haven't rode since this happened a month ago as I am a little leery now....
@tucktuck9024 that’s what’s up. Enjoy your season bro. I’m hoping to get a few more months. I ride in the winter but as soon as they put salt on the road I like to put the bike away. Last year it completely killed my chain. Which is ok because the chain did have over 10k miles
@@CityNinja650 thanks man you too, ride safe. Fair enough I didn’t know they put salt on roads, I got a lot to learn so videos like these are great insight for me and my 650L. Enjoy your weekend and the rest of the season!
i could say this is a good video watching you washing your bike is entertaining 😎

degreaser as lube is crazy
What are my options if I live in a downtown apartment with no access to a hose and parked in an indoor garage?

2:55 "...and start from bottom to the top" proceeds to start from top to bottom. Literally unwatchable

Motul has a nice cleaner and lube kit for around 35 bucks
@City Ninja thank you. I will check that out to.
@@christianburger25 thanks man I will check that out as well.
how do u lube the chains after without a rear stand?
I just use the car jack, no need to buy anything.
Use only wipes that's for cleaning paint
Nice looking bike. I clean the tires with vinegar and water solution. 50/50
Won't it start smelling like a douche?
I dry clean my bike. 😊

The beauty of innovation. Well good choice on the bike, comfortable, sporty and looks 🔥 ride safe 🤘🏼
I see the scratch on the fairing. What happened bud?
I did drop it. I keep meaning to make a video of the story but keep forgetting. Not to to bad. But scrapped it good
