Still, a basic cleaning and inspection is in order.
I've never ridden the Salar in Bolivia but have ridden our local dry lakes here. I've been riding out there nearly every year for 10 years.
Cleaning and wash after every trip ... including the Van.

Molly, maybe you could advise on something? I was all set to go today and when started ignition, just had that clicking from the starter. Lights, horn everything else seemed fine. I bump started bike and running it now to see if its low battery, after running it seems like its starting okay- well it clicks a few time before starting - sound like anything you know of? What sort of effect will salt have on the electronics? Kinda worried!
