I have a Joe Rocket Rasp jacket and I wash mine. I don't see what it could hurt except maybe the detergent could break down the material or sumpin.

 

[sm=helpout.gif] huh...sounds like a personal problem to me [sm=laughat.gif]

 

Try smoking. My jacket smells like smoke not exhaust. But if you dont like the smell try running some sort of racing gas it smells a hell of a lot better that premium.

 

Then it would be a smoking jacket.

 

I have honda racing joe rocket supersport textile jacket and i have the same problem. strong exhaust smell. the smell carries on to yours clothes but after u was them they are fine, the jacket on the other hand still smells. i have stuck it in the washer (not recomended by joe rocket but doesnt seem to hurt the material) hng it up wett and sprayed it with old spice cologne and let it air dry. a day later i checked it and still stinks, the water doesnt seem to soak into the textile material very well. im going to try to soak it in hot water with dawn dish soap with takes gas smell out of most materials, if that doesnt work i guess dry cleaning might work. *Also it is hard to get the bug stains out of the white material.

 

Textile/nylon is going to absorb exhaust odor more than leather, but with the under-tail exhaust design of our bikes, there's virtually no way to avoid it.

The thing I like about this picture is you can see the swirls from the exhaust at the rear of the bike...although I'm going over 100 mph, put that same exhaust pattern in normal riding and it's going to be swirling back on the rider.

 

Suggest you contact JR to find out their approved cleaning method is. I imagine that there is a way to reduce the effectiveness of the material in a way that doesn't 'seem to harm it'.

 

umm dude how can you not love that smell... HELLLOOOOO!!!!

 

I like to go fast, seem's to keep the smell behind me[sm=wootwoot.gif]

 

i only smell like it if i stand next to the bike for a while, bu tif im moving no problem.
