How to Wash Your CAN AM RYKER

[@ishmaelcruz8037]

Ok subscribers let’s keep the comments respectful and gentleman like. This young lady is very professional at what she does. God bless her and her family. Thank her for what she does. I love her videos. My daughter loves what she does. A true inspiration to all of us. Please refrain from making distasteful remarks with double meaning. Let’s keep it respectful and decent. Thanks evrryone

[@RykerRydes]

Thank you for your kind words. I don’t like to, but I have already deleted 3 people from my channel and I also have the ability to delete distasteful comments. I appreciate you looking out and thrilled your daughter watches the channel too. A little fun is ok, as long as it doesn’t go too far. Best wishes to you and your family too! ❤️

[@simonrankin9177]

I think she is a cute chick and loves her bike i enjoy her videos and how she gets excited over the small things ,, im definitely thinking of getting me a ryker...

[@barrypontbriand2462]

Hi, just watching your channel. Good info for people that don’t know how to wash. One thing I’d be careful of is to not let your hose drag on your Ryker. That’s a great way to scratch your paint and wraps. Best

[@RykerRydes]

You are 💯 correct. Great advice!

[@cathyahrens3914]

Just called yesterday Afternoon that my Ryker has accessories done and ready to pick up. My first bike and I can't wait to get her home! Thank you for these vidoes...I'm taking notes and appreciate the tips.

[@RykerRydes]

Cathy that is so exciting!!! Enjoy every moment!

[@brodynyhof3054]

A little thing to keep in mind, work from the top down. You don't want to clean the bottom, then rinse it off and do the top and all the dirty run off is going to be over everything you just cleaned. You also want to work from top to bottom because of all the dirt and other contamination on the bottom that could scratch your bike. That goes for washing and drying.

[@RykerRydes]

Good point Brody!

[@lesliejones7609]

I’ve had my ryker for less than a month now and Your videos are SO helpful. I’m from the country, NC and I Love that your barefoot😁

[@VachonGauthier]

If you do not have Black Again products, I used Meguiars black plastic restorer. It did a really great job and my Ryker turned really black and not too shinny. Also, do your tires too with the proper product! Thanks for the tip!

[@RykerRydes]

Great advice!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!

Jason, that is so awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching! Ride safe!!

[@DLRacing]

BRP power sports dealer trick = use Dawn dish soap, nice soft sponge and anything from garden hose to pressure washer to wash, drying use any shop blow gun with air compressor or a "master blaster" which is a vacum cleaner sized blow dryer w/heat. To get that new shine wipe down with WD-40 and a microfiber towel.. when finished ur bike will look like it did off the showroom floor. And everything i mentioned will NOT hurt anything on ur bike (common sense needed ofc)..🤘

[@RykerRydes]

Thanks Dave! great suggestions. Subscribers read the comments, so it is great to hear other suggestions!

Brilliant video Beth. I know that when I first got Ripley I was worried about washing her correctly. Great humour in there too. The comment about bikini girls washing a bike was hilarious 😂. I look forward to your video on the speaker installation. Your channel just gets better and better. Hope you and hubby are staying safe and well...and sane during the restrictions. Ryde Safe. Your friend, George.

[@RykerRydes]

Thanks George!!! I ended up returning the speakers. I really hate a cluttered handlebar. I do still have a very rough install video in case someone needs help installing it. But not good enough to post. We are all doing well and look forward to your next tide!! Peace and love

[@TheBorderRyker]

Ryker Rydes I agree about keeping the handlebars un cluttered. But it would have made an interesting video. Not everyone (myself included) is brave enough to try these things.

[@RykerRydes]

[@Bananimal65]

I had a friend of mine decades ago ask me why I use soap and water on my bike just to get dust and bugs off? I was perplexed. I mean, because it is what we're supposed to do, right? He convinced me that that all you need is a motorcycle polish. He argued that dousing your bike with water is a bad idea as ultimately, water is corrosive and if not careful, can get into electrical connectors and corrode them. Why take the chance he argued. So, I took his advice. He was right. I haven't used water on any of my bikes in decades and they always look new. Just spray on heavy bugged areas and let it sit a minute or two before wiping and the bugs slide right off. Especially if you polish after every ride. Plus, you are protecting the finish with a polish. Something a straight up wash will not do. I use Wizards and a few others, but there are many brands that'll work. You'll be surprised how much easier it is to clean the bike up by just using polish. For your rims, use WD-40. Takes tar, brake dust, and road grime right off and looks the shizzle too. Just don't get it on your brakes or tires. I spray it on a rag and wipe to avoid that. I've been doing this for decades and it truly works. Give it a shot. You'll be glad you did. And you'll be finished cleaning your bike much faster, with less hassle and mess.

[@RykerRydes]

I love your comment. Very informative and hopefully helpful to my subscribers as well! Thank you!

[@Bananimal65]

@@RykerRydes I do try to share what I've learned over the years. I mentioned this in one of the local FaceBook riding groups I belong to and got many, many responses like, "I use water and never had a problem" or "water is fine" instead of taking good advice. Honestly, I almost blew off my friend too when he mentioned it to me, so I can't blame them. It's just hard for me not to share a better way to help people. It doesn't take much polish either, just a squirt here and there and wipe it down. I wish I could post a picture of my 15 year old Speed Triple so you could see for yourself. The bike looked brand new just before I sold it. Cost is negligible. One can of polish should last you a riding season, at least. Here's a link to what I use the most. wizardsproducts.com/collections/frontpage/products/mist-n-shine works great and hides swirls. It gives my paint a luster that rivals most waxes. I love the way it smells too. And no, I don't work for these guys.

[@rejji7]

do you use ant tire shine also what was that in the black can that you sain do not put on your seat, i won’y ask you why lol, but is it armour all, cause atoumor gives a little shine, Happy Safe Riding

[@RykerRydes]

Yes I do use tire shine. It is important not to use any shine stuff on your seat, it'll make it very slippery!

[@rockylion4382]

Another helpful video. Thank you 😊

[@RykerRydes]

You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for watching all my videos!!

[@crystalloxley8423]

I live in an apartment is there a method that would work? Maybe just a bucket of fresh water with a fresh sponge and then one with the soapy water. Would that work

[@RykerRydes]

Absolutely. Also check Amazon for waterless cleaners. You just spray and wipe. Another option is to get it wrapped. Hides the dirt, and protects the bike from the sun.

[@steelgong]

Great video Beth. One question though if I choose to use bikini girls to wash my Ryker would that be okay?

[@spyderlyf3]

Check out chemical guys at Walmart. They sell a complete kit in a bucket that has a dirt trap. Have to make sure you don't scratch panels with dirty water. Its good stuff. Can am makes a pretty water tight bike. A bike wash without a bikini just doesn't make sense..had to say it lol.. Keep it classy!

[@mkbowl]

Honda and most brands make a spray cleaner that dissolves dried bugs and leaves a great shine. Works great on plastic and windshields. Carry it trips to keep bike shined.

[@RykerRydes]

I do realize that 97% of my viewers are male...hence the joke about the bikinis! You are very right about getting a bucket with a dirt trap. I actually have one, but was trying to keep the video as simple as possible. Most people just want to know if the bike can get wet!
