A dirty bike is a bad thing, but I never wash with a hose because water under pressure can penetrate where it shouldn't be so I only spot clean with windex or mild soap. I would not wash a hot or warm bike. It just doesn't make good sense. There are many good cleaners out there that don't require hosing down with water. 8)
let bike cool down before washing???
Can you mess anything up by washing a bike that's up to temp? If I’ve been out riding I usually try to let the engine cool off for about 30 minutes before I wash it...sometimes I'll throw a shop fan on it to speed things up. Last time I washed mine there was steam coming off the cases and exhaust pretty good when I started spraying it down. I don't wanna crack the case or anything like that.
