Putting something like leidergreis on will make the leather more supple and help it break in more quickly in the same way it does with boots.
I've never "cleaned" a motorcycle leather.
In my experience, a leather jacket is never properly broken in until you've been totally soaked through then kept it on until dry again. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I clean my jacket with soapy water and a damp sponge occasionally to remove teh flies an d road dire. Then I occasionally 'feed' it with one of those 'preparations' made from Carnuba wax, bees wax, axle grease or what have you. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

I've been known to use baby wipes to clean dead bugs off of all types of jacket including my waxed cotton one. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
