Agreed.
I have little to no future fear of blasting the crap out of the swingarm etc, but the rest will be a nylon scrubbing brush and cleaning products/chemicals where needed, elbow grease, and then low-pressure (tap and hose) rinsing/wiping.
I could have done it without, and i could have just done the rear lower quarter (swingarm, shock area, wheel arch) with the jetwash. I think i only got carried away/careless because it was my own bike i was cleaning. When i occasionally do valeting work, i'm much more careful, methodical etc..
But hey. I'll find out what the problem is tomorrow if it isn't just a matter of drying out, which it'll do in the shop's garage tonight. Google didn't throw up any results either, but at least i have a very clean bike with freshly touched-up paint.
Not that it'll stay clean and nice for long in this weather...
