Official video tutorial about cleaning the Varg

[Theo]

• If you don't wash the surfaces under the plastics by pouring water onto them like they do here, IMO it will be very hard to clean the connectors properly and therefore it will be easy for dirt to end up into the connectors in case you want to disconnect them for some reasons, like periodic cleaning. So I'd say wash the connectors, dry them with a cloth and wait at least 2 days before disconnecting them.
• I copy-and-paste what I've commented under that video: «In the manual I've read that we are supposed to "Check battery valve condition for debris clogging the holes", so I think it's important to remember that after having removed the plastics.» The valve is located between the CAN BUS and the power connectors of the battery.

I do about the same, though I don't normally remove the plastics every time. And when I do remove the plastic I don't typically run water there a damp rag is usually enough. The only things I use differently is I use Simple Green for cleaner and motorex for my chain lube which is leftover from my KTM days.

Typically around here gas station car washes have the similar pressure to the low pressure in the video provided you don't use the trigger (you can't clean a dirtbike in a condo complex with nosy Nancy going nuts). The only thing I would ever use a higher pressure for might be the tires, keepinh the blast zone far away from motor, bearings, and other electrics.

I wash the bike at the track when I finish riding; it also air dries on the trailer and when I'm home it's already pretty dry. When they only have pressure washers I keep the nozzle at a big distance and then the bike doesn't get clean well but I prefer it a little dirty than damaged. Most of the time, though, I ride at tracks where they have the garden hose option and it works way better since I can keep the nozzle close and gently pour water onto the bike.

Ya I used to have a nice garden hose setup it had hot water too for those cold days when the mud actually freezes --that is nasty. My old setup was made for dirtbike living. But alas things change.
