There are still many people who are curious about one of the cleaning techniques during motorcycle service. Therefore, the question arises, "Is it actually okay to clean the CVT components of an automatic motorcycle using water and soap?".
In addition to using gasoline, it turns out that there are technicians in some workshops who clean the CVT area of an automatic motorcycle with soap.
Based on a quote from GridOto.comOne of those who use the technique of washing CVT components with soapy water is 126 Project, a manufacturer of double-back pads that also provides maintenance services for motorcycles.
"For a long time, racing matic motorcycles and matic motorcycles serviced in the workshop were not cleaned using gasoline. However, we use soap to clean the CVT area," said Griyan Kedia, Owner of 126 Project as quoted from GridOto last Tuesday (05/18/2022).
"I often use laundry soap and dish soap to clean the v-belt, double pads, and also the double pad bowl," he added.
Along with the use of parts in the CVT can indeed be dirty due to dust, oil seepage or splashes from grease.
According to Griyan, there are several advantages of washing the CVT area with water and soap over gasoline.
"The results of washing with this soap make the CVT area clean and also smooth," said Griyan.
"Especially for CVT components that were previously dirty with oil or grease so they are clean and smooth," he said when met at Jl. Pendowo No. 84, Limo, Depok, West Java.
According to Griyan, cleaning the CVT area with soapy water also makes the cylinders in the CVT area such as the front pulley and rear pulley last longer.
If the result is smoother, it means that there is less slip on the double pads, which is often the trigger for the motorbike gredek.
Well, those of you who want to clean CVT components using water and soap should not hesitate anymore, it turns out that there are advantages to cleaning these components with soapy water.
