Just a quick pic of it,,,, I have never been more impressed with a bike, I love it, although the tall first gear took some getting used to especially in the woods, but in a drag it is tough to keep the front end down,,,, I LOVE THIS QUAD>>>>

Thank you, very much...... This is my first new quad, so I am going to try and keep it clean,,,,,,, even though after the first real ride in the woods the fenders are already all scratched up,,,,,, I use Honda glass cleaner and spray polish to clean it with, after I rinse it off with the hose,,,,,,,,, Still to cold here for me to use my pressure washer

spray black magic tire wet on those fenders.. it makes them shine like new.. i spray it on everything on my atvs, works real good, and smells good

I'll try that, do you spray it then wipe it down or just spray it on and let it sit?

Just noticed your signature... I had a 1985 XR350! What an awesome machine! The person that owned it before me had some major head work done to it and it was wicked fast! Outran Quadzilla's back in the day but the thing was modded too much and was temperamental. Had to rebuild it several times in the 2 years I had it. Got tired of doing that and let someone else deal with it... Yet I still miss her:(

also the tire wet is a little greasy and picks up dust easily.. if u wanna try something less greasy and still makes a real good shine try ,, WD40, it also works good on the plastic..and scratches..but try them both and tell me how u like em

I have used wd on my other bikes for a while, I usually just spray the motor down though, Havent tried it on the plastic yet.

Wash your quad, and dry the plastics, then wipe the plastic down with mop-n-glo. It will dry to a showroom shine, and will not be sticky. :devil:
