I'm trying to do a friend a favor and clean and service his bike for him. We went on an epic ride a few months ago, and he just let it sit after that. I've got a 400 and know the general rules about where to spray and where not to spray.

But.....I'm not that familiar with any specials "don't do this's" on a 450. Is there anywhere that I should be careful of during cleaning with a hose (besides the airbox duh). I'm not pressure washing it, but I know there are a few parts on it that are different than mine, so I don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks!

Also dont spray in the exhaust.

If ur just using a hose then u can spray where ever. All of the wires/plugs are sealed off.
