can i just spray it off with the hoose or do i gotta take off the battery? plan on gettin hella muddy on wed so some tips would be great =D

 

Best & safest way is water hose & a bucket (or 2) of hot soapy water. No need to remove battery.

Some use a pressure washer but you have to be very careful so as to not get it in places that it should not be like forced into bearings which will drasticly shorten their life. Can also bend radiator fins if you have one, can also remove labels.
