Probably. But.. if you use an ordinary washing powder/detergent. you're likely to destroy its water resist. So don't.

Use NIKWAX 'wash' and then reproof when its dry. wash it on a cool synthetic wash.. should be fine.

If you can't be bothered then 'wash' it with plain water.. nothing added. on a cool wash. may still be grubby.. but will get any grit or other rubbish out of the material.

Sooner or later opinions fade and the name on the tank matters not. I think that happens somewhere between 3rd and 4th gear. Enjoy the ride... everything else takes care of itself.
