Not Recommended.I do it all the time.
Thing is, you have to know what can get hurt.
High pressure can force the water past seals.
Stay away from wheel and swingarm bearings.
Be careful of electrical connectors. Even though the new ones have good sealing built in, they were not made for pressure.

I have always been told to avoid the high pressure washer on a motorcycle. Most places that are a "do it yourself" place have a low pressure option as well though, don't they?i wash my goldwing at the carwash all the time -just leave it running-sometimes they will get wet and run crappy for a lil bit just give it time to dry out

high pressure blaster will force water in places it shouldnt be. i run it thru the car wash at times, but i never use the high pressure part, and i keep the low pressure at least 2' away from the bike. the high pressure is good for dealing with caked on brake dust on the rims tho.Where do I look to get wiring schematics for a 04 Harley Davidson motorcycle?

No, it shouldn't. The pressure washer could get underneath pretty good. Do not use the brush that you can "do it yourself". Take along your own cleaning tools.Why modern motorcycles have the front wheel taller than the rear one?
The high pressure can force water behind the seals on your wheel bearings and behind other seals.What does the word ''torque'' mean?
I don't mean to offend anyone who has already answered, however, what type of bike do these people run? I put my Harley in a self operated coin type car wash all the time, without a problem. Just carry a towel to dry off seat till I can pull it out and finish drying it. No problem so far. I can't imagine getting so much pressure, or putting the pressure washer so close to any engine seal that would cause water to enter the engine, unless the bolts are loose anyway. If water can get in, then gas can get out. I guess if you took off the spark plug wires, and stuck the end of the pressure washer tip directly on it, that might cause a problem, but would you do that with your car or truck? The paint job on a Harley is better (in my opinion) than most cars, so unless you have a scratch or some sort of imperfection in the paint, chipping wouldn't be a problem either. Just don't get where these people come up with these answers.More Questions & Answers ...
