When i wash my dirt bike is it ok to get parts wet?

like the engine %26amp; stuffWhen i wash my dirt bike is it ok to get parts wet?
as XYZ stated, keep the air box dry, I would also recommend not directing the nozzle to the carb, spark plug wire, throttle, etc. the areas normally lubricated.





and when done, do a full lubrication of the chain and sprockets, pivot points of the foot pegs, pivot of the foot brake and gear shift lever to make sure they don't start to rust...





I also lubricate the pivot points of the clutch perch, front brake lever, and a complete throttle cable %26amp; clutch cable to insure proper working order for the next ride...When i wash my dirt bike is it ok to get parts wet?
Aaron is correct, the airbox is your only real concern. Of course you don't want water in the airbox, but even getting the filter wet is a problem if you do not let it dry completely before starting the engine. I would recommend buying an airbox cover. Just remove your filter and put this in place of it before washing. Scroll to the bottom of this page if you want to see what it looks like.

Yes you can wash it , just be carefull around your air cleaner, I would try to hand wash it (the air filter case) first, you don't want to get water down it. But yea, just get the pressure washer and spray away.
