Detailing a Vstrom 1000 with fork and chain maintenance.

You may find the video satisfying...
I did leave one thing out: I sometimes use an air blower (leaf blower) to dry my bike off after washing. I didn't in this video, but I recommend it if you have a decent blower available. Mine is electric so it's quiet and doesn't stink.

Fantastic wash job! I fear the day I might wash my bike that well. I might just wrap it in plastic and leave it in the garage until the day I sold it.

Jeeze guy, don't take it too seriously. Your filmer cracking wise about the foam gun was a good opportunity for levity, cut short by "You're not supposed to talk."

Does she walk 15ft behind you as well?

Oddly satisfying. Now I want to wash my bike. Have to get one of those foam gun attachments for my pressure washer though and make a trip to the dollar store for a surfactant.

I was thinking that as well. But I want to get the "biggest" attachment I can in case I make a video.

A couple of things I forgot to ask: 1) Why did you remove the brake calipers?, 2) What kind of seat is that, I like that net-looking fabric or whatever it is.

For your 2nd question answer. It is a Sit and Fly seat cover.

I didn't remove the brake calipers. I just removed the front wheel fender because I had a tiny leak on the right fork seal. When you see me wrenching on the brake caliper side, im actually taking off the AdventureTech raising kit adapter. @richlandrick makes them.

It was my wife, I like to give her a hard time every once in a while.
