[Stev125]

Although I keep my Bike very clean the rear Sprocket always looks grubby and is difficult to get clean does anyone have any tips to get it sparkling again.

I've never cleaned mine - what's the point? Oild it up and it gets dirty again.

Live with it.

Take it off and stick it in a bucket of petrol.

Brake cleaner and a wire brush might also work.

I have a similar problem really, I like a clean bike but I sometimes worry that the insides of the downpipes are probably absolutely filthy and black Does anyone have a good method for keeping them sparkling?

Toothbrush, parraffin and rag... job done. Petrol is a very good degreasant but try not to get it on your chain since it WILL knacker the seals.

I'd use wet wipes for removing oil and brake dust, then spray WD40 on a rag and wipe over the area to protect it.

Whip the sprocket off.
Attach the + side of 9v battery to the sprocket (Cathode).

Attach the - side to your burd's/wife's/mum's gold wedding ring (Anode).

Put both item in a bucket of vinegar.

Let it sit overnight.

Eh Vwah La....

A lovely, tarnish resistant Electro plated Sprocket.

The Sprockets are normally Zinc plated (Anodised if Aluminuiminuminum) so if you fret away with Brasso to much, you will succeed in removing that thin protective patina dropping you deeper in your fastidious mire.

Chain cleaner/brake cleaner and then some engine lacquer may preserve the bright finish.

A brush over with paraffin to remove the worst of the crud then some hot soapy water will get it as clean as it ever needs to be.

Well you think you've got it bad? My tyres are dirty, the inside of my petrol tank reeks of petrol, the chain is covered in white goo, the inside of the engine is all black and oily, under my seat is a load of silly wires, and my air filter is full of DUST!

No excuse for any of that, I empty and clean out my tank after every ride. I also clean the outside AND the inside of my tyres on a daily basis.
