One should never pressure wash a chain, water gets into the linkage and gets trapped there when you re oil.
Im sorry I know this was from the first page but, That is the complete opposite of what you should to, that will completly destroy your filter. That is all

Just avoid your chain, and the hole in your exhaust pipe, your cables, gasket joints and any stickers you want to keep.
Also avoid and wire connectors and switches if you can, and bearings and seals like your "A"arm and swingarm bushings and axle seals.
If you leave the lid on your airbox you can take the seat off and pressure wash all under there.
Once the quad is cleaned, start it up and let it warm up and it will dry any water that might be in a pipe or intake.
You can dab some of that chain oil on the chain too if you want.
I have heard that chain oil MIGHT dissolve the filter foam over time, I don't know for sure.
Compressed air can do damage to air filters. Blows small holes and cracks in the foam material, gauze or paper if too close.
As for air filters, do not use HOT water to clean them. Some are held together with thermo-set glue. They come apart in hot water.
Gasoline can do the same thing, especially over time as well as being too prone to exploding into flame with a static spark.
Do not use gasoline as a cleaner.
My Blaster looks like a turd. I don't care. I am all about go not show.
It was covered in stickers when I got it. I pressure wash the HECK out of those damn stickers and do you think they will come off?
Some guys sit at home and polish their's, I ride the HELL out of mine!
I can relate to that! i was about 8 or 9 years old washing my brand new rappy 80 that i only had for about 3 days, and i took the power washer to it and the stock raptor stcker on the back fender went flying threw the air!! i was soo up set
