P500 Do you need to take off the skid plates on a 520 just to clean it?

  1. 520
well, bought a new 2025 pioneer 520 for deer season last fall. i have put 478 miles on it this deer season. i went to clean it up this week, and after A few hours of washing i thought i had it pretty clean. i took off my 27'' gorilla 2's and put the stockers back on and then i realized i did not clean the bike worth a darn because there was plenty mud left between the frame and the skid plate. is it better to just leave off the skid plates or just get used to the fact that they have to be pulled in order to clean the bike?

The pioneer 520 hasn't missed a beat all deer season, some suspension and a locker would be a great upgrade, but i am a Honda man and had a great time putting the bike through it's paces!!!

the last Honda i had was a 300 4x4, so this is a new adventure for me!!! i can" t beleive where this thing passes!!!!
