Gave my bike a clean today, im no valetor and have no idea how the best way of cleaning a bike is tbh!
Just washed it with some muc off, some chain cleaner on the chain, quick polish on the paintwork with some autoglym, then some muc off chain lube
No idea what the best lube to use is, but before i was using some 80w/90 gear oil to lube it before like my manual suggests but i ended up with shitty oil up the underside of the bike and all over the garage floor. The muc off stuff goes on and drys, looks like nothing is on there but you touch the chain and its defo there
anyone have any cleaning/maintenamce tips feel free to shout out
anyway, heres a pic or 2 of it

" i cant be assed to get out the allen keys and change it to the new one i carry in my jacket " i don't think the plod would be happy about that, if i'm not mistaken, your ( up to date ) tax disc has to be on display or its illegal... i think, but like you i can't be arsed to look it up nice bike btw |
