Changes oil and filter - bike sounds different

[Notty]

Never jet wash

x2 Never jet wash. Water gets blasted into areas it shouldn't and causes problems.

@tingus a service oil and filter change is around 4.8 lts so your 5 lts is about right.
A good hot foam wash the rinse with a hosepipe is how wash mine
If you do use a powerwasher you need to keep the main pressure away from the electrics and any bearings .

How do you guys clean your bikes?

Annually.

Be very careful with a jet wash, do NOT point it at the wheel bearings, head bearings and chain as it can blast out any grease.

Sometimes I use jet wash, sometimes I don't.
I don't recommend to use jet wash if you don't know how to use it.
Everything can be done right or wrong.

Got my Rentec crash bars on today, forgot to take a front shot(tit) from the back it looks just as good. Some people say the bars don't look good I read on here, but I think the extra chrome looks awesome!

@tingus
I like how they look but when I had the same fitted to my bike I kept hitting my right shin against the crash bar so I changed the for different ones that don't extend back as far.

[tingus]

I get what you mean, but just got use to it when I went out for a ride. Will save the bike one day hopefully, touch wood that it doesn't happen.

Got to admit the crash bars on mine did a great job when I was knocked off so for me worth paying for

[Hooli]

I hope you don't ride fast. I had those for a while early on & they were almost touching down (according to people watching) long before I run out of back tyre.
