[craigs23]

Not by me, so hopefully not to obsessive.

(I'd be more careful with the WD40 though)

WD40 on the fucking discs? :O

[craigs23]

That's what I thought. Few good tips (excluding that) though.

[veeeffarr]

And he didn't touch the front of the engine! LOL

Thanks for that Craig, will come in handy. Although would Paraffin work as well as WD40 all around the bike?

bah, we all know you should lube the inner side of the chain first so centrifugal force works the lube into the rings as you ride.

Useful though.

I dont imagine WD40 on the discs matters because it will evaporate by itself, let alone with all the water and other degreasing, and thats not to mention the scorching heat/friction from braking...

The WD40 wouldn't stand a chance...

I know I should clean my bike, its worth it in the long run, but in all fairness I cant be arsed with all that palaver of taking half the bike apart just to degrease, degrease, degrease, degrease, rinse and then degrease....

Good vid, I'm sure Craig you could take him

Is he a WD40 salesman??

WAs good but like said im surprised the downpipes (even though he was going to put a system on) didnt get a mention as on a '96 blade they would be . Also, at the start there is lots of grime around the rearsets and surprised they wernt taken off either.

Good video and gives lots of food for thought

Think ill give this a go tommorow. I know theres alot of crud in and around the swingarm and sprocket cover - Last time I looked, I put it right back on and thought no way am I spending hours getting that crap out. But, WD40 seems the way forward
