  • Cowling in the Dishwasher?

    I have a pretty rough cowling that I think could use a very through cleaning (or two). Because I'm lazy, would it hurt it to run it in the dishwasher (I'm thinking warping could be a risk) or should it be relatively safe?

    You must have a huge dishwasher...
    And it all depends on how everyone that eats in your house feels about it lol.
    Taking them down to a car wash may be just as easy and the oils and road grime can clogg their drains.

        Really?


        Um... really not a good idea if your using that to clean dishes later on. You won't flush all the residue from the oil/grease out of the unit even running it a few times.

        Seriously... don't do that!

          Yeah, don't do the the dishwasher, it will leave oil all over the place. Next thing you know BP will be drilling through your dishrack.

            When I was a kid my mom came home one day to find motorcycle parts in the dish washer. side covers, carb parts, etc. Works great, but man was she ****ed off. I don't think I'd do it these days now that its my dish washer.

              Are you being serious?
              90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.
