MO tested: Muc-Off Pressure Washer

As motorcyclists, we all heard that using high-pressure cleaners in our bicycles was not a real thing. Pressure can force water through O-rings and gaskets, which can lead to corrosion and premature wear. Some of us have ignored this warning when using high pressure cleaners anyway, and in the knowledge that the intensity is an inverse square of the distance, trying to get with the bar not too close to the delicate parts of the bike Muc-Off has a high pressure cleaner for Motorcycles and bicycles developed, which solves the problem of excessive pressure.

These three tips are connected to the rod on the handle of the high pressure cleaner gun. Each trick delivers different pressures. The top tip rotation varies from maximum power to low power.

The high-pressure cleaner is made of a sturdy copolymer plastic and features a 1200 W carbon brush motor for a long service life. While the washer delivers a maximum water flow of 1.7 gallons / minute and a maximum pressure of 1450 psi, the magic takes place at the interchangeable ends of the wand. As with most high pressure cleaners, the water flow is controlled by a lance with pressure relief. In the Muc-Off bar, the three bits included are interchangeable. A tip is for general use and offers a variable printing capacity. However, what distinguishes this washing machine are the nozzles specially developed for motorcycles and bicycles. Put the end of the bike in and the pressure remains at a safe level for our favorite two-wheeled machines. In addition, designers who are aware of the delicate nature of some motorcycle surfaces, the pistol and spikes are coated with a matte black finish if you accidentally hit the top of your motorcycle.

This adapter is connected to the pistol grip of the pressure washer. I recommend lowering the foam level, unless you use a lot of cleaning solution.

Installing the pressure washer is as easy as plugging the power cord into a power outlet, connecting a garden hose, and connecting the high pressure hose to the spray nozzle. Choose the appropriate tip and insert it into the rod. Turn on the power switch and you're ready to go. The low pressure snow foam tip is an indispensable tool for this kit. Once a bottle of Muc-Off motorcycle cleaner is screwed into the lance, the high-pressure cleaner forms a thick foam that covers all surfaces of the bike.  

To test the effectiveness of the Muc-Off high-pressure washer, I had my 790 Duke soiled by insect impacts and even by tree sap drops (which had resisted other sprinklers). I wet the bike with the mouthpiece and let it rest for a few minutes. Then I applied a thick layer of muc-off foam. One caveat: The foam dispenser is very thirsty, unless it is set to the lowest level. I used more than a third of a bottle in a wash before I saw how fast the cleaner disappeared. Again, I let the bike rest for a few minutes to allow the cleaner to do his job. Then I cleaned the bike with a soft glove. After that I washed the cleaner and dirt. Without much attention, the sap of the trees in the tanks had disappeared. In the lighthouse almost all embedded insects had dissolved. Additional seconds to clean these unruly insects were all that was needed in the lighthouse. On the back of the bike, only a few traces of stubborn chain lubricant needed a moment's attention. The Muc-Off cleaner really works!

After soaking for a few minutes, I washed the bike with a soft glove before rinsing it off. Almost all of the accumulated dirt was gone, even the fine sap of the trees that had survived another cleaner.

In terms of functionality, the Muc-Off high-pressure cleaner works well and I see that it is an essential part of my bike cleaning program due to the spectacular cover of the foam dispenser and the ability to rinse the laundry. Mungobike The washing machine comes with the three spearheads, the low pressure Foam nozzle and a convenient and waterproof storage bag for $ 175. For more information, visit the Muc-Off website .
