Cleaning Tips

[numark1]

I just thought i would share a few tips when cleaning your bike.

For getting you chain and wheels clean (basically anywhere there is heavy oil) dab a toothbrush in white spirit brush the area and wipe off with a cloth. Even better is if you have an electric toothbrush. An old head mind not your sisters.

Secure a sandwhich bag over the exhaust outlet hole with an elastic band to stop water getting into the exhaust making it hard to start.

If you have run out of chain wax get abit of car oil on a rag and wipe over the chain, make sure the chain is not soaked though as it will fling off.

Thats about it, feel free to add more tips.

Instead of engine oil, get chainsaw oil, designed to be anti-fling.

WD40 gets all the muck of the Wheels and they look good as nice providing you have no dents of the wheel

I tried everything on my wheels when i got my SV only for Yoko to point this out to me

six weeks ago, i bought a bunch of stuff, paint wax, tyre & leather wax, alumunium cleaner.

made a half hearted attempt to start, body work is ok but gave up on the swingarm as its covered with crud.
last owner left the battery overflow tube too short so its seen some acid as well

one of these days i'll get round to it,excuse is, i'm waiting for fork seals so at the moment there is oil spraying everywhere so theres no point cleaning

cleaning is the worst thing about owning a bike
