Wait...we're supposed to wash them?
Soaking affected areas with warm wet towels works well for bug removal.
For routine bike washes I use Chemical Guys matte paint wash. Just a few drops in a bucket is all that's needed
I use Wizards spray and the bike wash. There is other stuff but this is easy to find.

Im not normally into washing my vehicles, but I bought this bike to last the next 10+ years, so Im taking better care of it.
I know there are a ton of products out there that we could get into the Who's Best game. But I will honestly say I had never heard of Hydrogen Peroxide and Water mix. I will try that when I have time before washing the bike next time.
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I've got a matte silver/black 2016 and just like every motorcycle I've owned for the past 45 years, I take it to the car wash. I do use a matte paint sealer on it when I get home occasionally and a spray polish on the windshield. If a motorcycle can't be washed at a car wash, how can it run interstate speeds in the rain?
