Making post riding clean-up easier

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you ride lots of mud, you know how much can accumlate on your bike. To keep the mud from sticking under your fenders, give them a light coating of Armor All, WD40 or non-flavored cooking spray. This must be done when the fenders are clean and dry. There are a number of products, specficially for this purpose but who doesn't have Armor All, WD40 or cooking spray around the house?

Also, if you run a skid plate, consider installing skid plate foam. It's porous enough to let water run through it, but keeps mud from accumulating underneath your bike.

Lastly, with a clean bike, wipe the topside of your plastic work down with a silicone spray or a product like Plexus. These products seal the microscopic pores in plastic, making dirt easier to release.

Lastly, here are two supporting articles you might find valuable this winter, when your skoot just gets dirtier.
