Tut Tut Tut ! :oops:

if its just mud, then a good dousing in water should do it, not a jet wash, but say a garden hose with a jet attachment.

stratie:
Go to you're local motor cross/road bike shop and ask for some *muck off*  (it's a spray) hose you're engine down, spray on the muck off and give it 5 mins to work.Then hose it off again, job's a good un  :wink:

If it's a diesel then you can be a bit more cavalier, but if it's a petrol then you might want to give it time to dry out, or whack some WD40 around, before you start it.

Diesel- go to the local jetwash, leave it running- then give it some (to the bewilderment of on lookers!). Mind the air intakes, fuse boxes etc.

Petrol- as above- but avoid anything obviously electrical including the HT system.
