Sir your video must feature in the ASMR category as well...sheer feeling of wellness that engulfs a motor cyclist when his favourite ride is being treated brilliantly...thanks for the beautiful content..!!!
I’ve just carried out a “Full Fillingham” on my interceptor. It’s the only way to clean a bike. Thoroughly enjoyed the procedure. Thank you once again for showing me the correct way to look after my motorcycle. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🏍
Don’t know about you Stuart, but I find the whole cleaning thing to be very therapeutic, and can happily pass a Saturday afternoon washing the bike. 👍🏻
Stuart, I tried a variation of your dried fly removal technique (10:25) on my lid, using kitchen roll and some sort of gentle cleaner, worked a charm and I didn't have to spend 10 minutes getting cleaner out of all the nooks and crannies around the visor.
Your usual great video quality thanks Stuart - If possible, any chance you could advise on a suitable salt free shampoo from your research please, it's not always made clear by manufacturers when looking at product contents for some reason... Many thanks, Chris.
You're missing a trick Stuart - I never dry a bike without using a warm air dryer over the entire machine. Quick to do, eliminates any possibility of scratching paint/chrome work with cloths, (however soft and contaminate free they may be) and of course air will get in to all the nooks and cranies a bike has, your cloth will not. Everywhere you used a microfibre cloth the warm air dryer can do it quicker and more efficiently. Same goes for cars, and I have a few.....
@@stuartfillingham I bet you a Pound you have! Anyway, give it a try if you haven't already done so. It really is an amazing (and very therapeutic) way of drying a vehice off.
Good point about the salt in the cleaning agent...that's why we never use washing up liquid!. The other good thing I have found is if you have to quickly rinse off the bike and put it away, I use my leaf blower to dry the bike off before putting it away.... Cheers, Steve
Thank you Stuart for your effort and time taken to explain in detail the thorough cleaning methods. Your Interceptor looks better than the ones in the showroom.....
Hey Stuart. Thanks for an updated version of the Full Fillingham (aka, FF 2.0). In your previous cleaning video, back when you introduced FF 1.0, you said to spray cleaner only on the lower half of the bike, but in this video you spray it on all of the bike. Is that a slight change in the method, or is it due to the change in cleaner brand? I know it couldn't be because you thought the salt in your previous cleaner would harm the paintwork, since back then you were under the impression that it didn't contain salt. So I'm curious if there's another reason.
Hi jorge good question. The wash off is a more sympathetic cleaner than my old cleaner so it doesn't strip off wax, it also contains polymers so it helps reinforce the wax layer. Hence the slight method change.
Hi Stuart I have been a biker for 53 years, just ordered a new Interceptor which will be my 38th bike (I think!) brilliant channel keep up the good work.
@@rajajessonsingh387 I owned an HD Sportster years ago and even though it sounded great it wasn't for me, so my response to your question the Interceptor has more to offer me than the HD.
Having moved to the coast of California (never lived near the ocean) rust is a big worry to me. Washing it every week, it's insane to see how fast rust takes over. The one thing that has made a huge difference is ACF50. I applied it 6 months ago and can't see any rust forming where I applied it yet. I'm glad someone at the garage bought it for me because that thing really does work. Be warned you must be very careful not to apply it on wheels, brakes, or where your feet/hands hold to the motorcycle. Also it smokes like crazy first time you apply it for the next 10 minutes so do it outdoors.
Mr. Fillingham, Thank you for another quality instructional video. Southeast US bugs can be a pain, especially the biannual love bug invasion. I pre-treat bugs with a spray bottle filled with hydrogen peroxide. This methods works well on all of my vehicles. In addition, I try not to let the bugs “bake on” which can potentially damage paint.
Much awaited video..👏👏👍 that's pure passion and love for your machine Stuart.. respect..🙏🏻 btw, did you face any problem of water seeping into the meter console.. (mostly reported by the owners in youtube)..?
Hi Stuart, maybe I'm a bit "Old School" here. I have a 2006 Black Bonneville, obviously with black engine casing.. I still use Gunk for the engine.. I know it turns the black casings grey'ish, but when it's dry I finish the engine casings off with either WD40, or more recently - following your advice - GT85, both of which gives the black engine casings that lustre. My question is... Is there anything wrong with using Gunk ? Many thanks in advance for your advice and opinion. Cheers, Tim
This is Church ^ I bought the exact same cleaning spray and just followed the exact method and now I'm looking at the cleanest bike I ever owned! He's not kidding when he says give it a good soaking - really do, both before and after the spray. 👍
Hi, I love your videos, I find them so interesting. I have a small question, is Autogly Car Shampoo Conditioner Salt free ? I just bought a Continental GT 650 British green and really would love to take care of it the proper way. Thanks :)
Thanks a lot for sharing this Stuart. It will help me a lot when I wash my Interceptor, although I don't have access to Silkolene Wash off. Any alternatives ?
Another great, informative video Uncle Stu. Refresher course, kinda like, continuing education. I don't think silkolene products are available in the U.S. . I've been using Meguiar's for many years but, now find it also has salt. I still will use there other products but gotta find some new shampoo.
A heartiest thanks 🙏 to you respected sir for giving us this awesome video on washing our beloved new classic bike. I am really impressed by your honest and sincere feedback. I really love 💖 your method of washing the bike and will definitely apply these same methods to 🧼 wash and clean 🧼 my beloved interceptor 650 ( ravishing red) . As I am very fond of cleaning my beloved bike and I always want my beloved bike to remain in a brand new and healthy condition always. May god almighty always blesses you with health wealth and prosperity and happiness and a healthy life full of love and guffaws of laughter. Once again a millions and millions of love 💖 and blessings from India 🇮🇳. Looking forward to more of your awesome videos.
Great work!!, I have to laugh when riders say to me(I like cleaning) "oh bikes are for riding not cleaning".... Forgetting that I still ride more than they do.
Recently adhered to two wheels and I got my first bike. I'm really satisfied with it and I want to care for it and keep it brand new for as long as I can unfortunately I dont have acess to a garden hose. What would you recommend to use? Thank you in advance for your help
Ha! bless you! The bike has covered 500 miles since its first clean and protection regime. The dressings and wax I use pretty much stop dirt from sticking to the bike, so that within reason is about as dirty as it gets. all will become clear in the second video!
I can't find silkolene products in the states, and Amazon says it's no longer available. Any suggestions for salt free automotive shampoo. Any help is appreciated. Safe riding.
Love the videos Stuart! I’ve just bought a brand new Meteor so have watched loads of your stuff. Question please.. I have Mucoff motorcycle protectant. Would you recommend I spray the engine? Want to keep it looking nice but don’t want to mark it. Cheers!
Ey-Up……great video, great job. Something very therapeutic about watching someone cleaning their bike from the comfort of your own home, supping tea and eating biscuits. I’ve always washed my bike just as described in your video. Just a tiny little tip when it comes to decanting the ‘wash off’ fluid from a five litre container into a one litre spray applicator. If you tilt the five litre container on its side rather than just tilting it up from the bottom as I’ve noticed thats the way you do it, then you won’t get any dripping of the ‘wash off’ product on the ground and every little drip saved is good. Thanks for posting these informative how to do videos Stuart, they’re always interesting and good to watch on a miserable and chilly Sunday afternoon in these winter months. Sunday 5th December 2021 at 14:17hrs. I don’t think it’s too early to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2022.
Hello from Bangalore, Stuart. I recently bought my interceptor! And I must say your videos had a great deal of influence in making my choice to go for this beauty of a machine. I have one question. Since you come from a detailing background. Do you recommend paint protection films on ones motorcycle? Do you have them on yours? Thanks!
Sir I have recently tried an experiment, I have removed the air filter cover of Interceptor -650 and when I have drive the bike. The response was good, engine noise reduced specially friction noise reduced and engine was responding. The reason behind DNA air filters performance could also be the same
I was told years ago using some dish washing up liquid was a bad idea on cars, because of the salt. That's made for dishes, not cars or bikes, so its understandable. So why do they put salt in bike and car cleaning products ? Maybe "outing" the car and bike cleaners that contain salt might prompt their manufacturers change their ways ... Other than that all I can say is "sigh..."
Suggest me whether 3M or motul is good company to go for the cleaning products..cuz the product u suggested aren't available in india......any carnauba wax will do or any specific suggestions u have? including the cleaning and polish
Good system. At 9:44 I wonder if the cleaning solution is responsible for the deterioration around the edge of the mirrors that you got over time. I had similar happen to the rear view mirror in my car after spraying glass cleaner on it
Use a hose powered soap cannon/sanitizing gun. Silkolene.... Keep seeing you use their products and trying to justify ordering them online. Hard to get in Canada. Cheers
really love your vids, your explaining has some calming effect on me. Can't wait for the summer to turn in and get my interceptor after years without riding due to the cause of a bad accident on the race track. Time to start again with just enjoying the ride and the countrysides, :) Keep going!
Stuart, Thanks for the informative video. I also have an Orange Crush Interceptor and have done 740 Dry Riding miles on it Without having a cleaning session yet ! Its ready now and I would like to use your method but am worried about spraying water onto the handlebar switchgear and cable plugs etc. In your opinion is this ok without having to go to the trouble of masking these parts off or have you already protected these parts with some other stuff ?
Great video, Stu, I have been riding and cleaning bikes for 40 years and have learned from your method. I will be adding and adapting my processes accordingly. Thanks for the upload 👍
I remember your original washing vid on the T120! I’m finally out of the muc-off now. I bought a bottle of Bilt-Hamber Surfex HD and diluted that down for the degreasing and use Autoglym Ultra high definition shampoo for the paint surfaces.
Interesting, didn‘t know about the salt issue in cleaning product! I would not idle a air cooled bike for ten minutes to dry off, by that time your engine overheats when not moving.
Hey Stuart, watched both these parts.. None of the silkolene products are available in India, and then ones available aren't at the same affordability as they would be if in the UK.. Plenty of shampoos and waxes available though. So sorted on that front. Was wondering if you could help out for any DIY solutions that could be made for the wash off and pro prep products?
Silkolene is far from cheap here Zain. The problem with your request is that any alternatives I might suggest may also not be available to you. just do a little research and use the best you can get your hands on.
Hat stu i hav a question about int 650 . After riding My bike i parked Bike on Center stand and After 4 to 5 hour when i started bike IT creating Problem in starting After taking 4 to 5 self IT Start .so what do you think what is Main Problem and tell about its solution
@@stuartfillingham High Stuart, Unfortunately I can only buy second hand bikes "currently a 650 Vstrom" again a great value bike, she do's get whatever she needs mechanically an as I'm the other side of 70 and spend the winter in Spain she doesn't see rain let alone salt :-). Love the Enfield though, fantastic bike for the money, but will have to wait till some one else gets tired or wants the next latest toy on the market. Many thanks for the hours of enjoyment an entertainment you've given me. The drone footage is amazing because you can see things the average eye can't.

"Spit shining" shoes is also very meditative and therapeutic.

Anyone want to buy a five litre unopened bottle of muc off

Does this mystery product that contains salt happen to rhyme with a naughty word and end in the word Off? Hmmm

No need
Suggest me whether 3M or motul is good company to go for the cleaning products..cuz the product u suggested aren't available in india......any carnauba wax will do or any specific suggestions u have? including the cleaning and polish
Good vid. Have a look at Bilthamber. Particularly there Atom-Mac. I use it on car's and Bonny.
Also, if you have a compressor, get a Tornador. You'll be amazed what you can remove without contact.
I use bilt hambers carnauba wax. And yes they do have some great products.
I was able to do everything fine except lean my bike LOL….. This man is so gentle with his bike
Right. Onto the other Half Fillingham! Accept no substitute! Thanks, Stuart!

Using this method for my Meteor 350! New to bikes so thank you. :)
Hell yezz. The Full Fillingham 2019!

is this a weekly wash or monthly wash??
Why are jet washers bad for the bike?
very helpful, thankyou.
I blow the bike over with a leaf blower after cleaning .
Blimey! That’s one very powerful blower! 😂😂 I’d revert back to microfibre clothes if I were you! Only pulling yer leg Jota. 👍😁
Thank you Mr. Fillingham.
I am going to get one of those blowers, I always poo pooed the idea of them but I to have been converted.
I dont think dealers put ANY effort into detailing new bikes Stuart. Not from my experience anyway.
I agree!
You choose good angles to shoot photos of you Interceptor, they all look great. With thanks.
