Decided to clean inside the bike as best as I can after watching the videos posted on here.
Took 4 hours to clean the parts, wash/poslish bike. - Still got the wheels to go yet Shocked

WD40 Is your friend, - with GUNK

Its not perfect but the ammount of crud/oil was bad. 10 year old bike.
Still bits to do but thats enough for one day Smile

Very nice. But next time, use carb/brake cleaner, it will have all that crap shifted in about 10 seconds, and it dries almost instantly!

Thumbs Up

Yes Wave. Both are solid on -

Will do next time - WD40 is good tho, but got quiet a bit on the tyre which will have a good washing later on.

For the age of the bike there wasnt a serious amount of gunk like the CBR? in the video.

Very good job, well done getting behind the shock, always find that a bugger to do without removing the wheel.

I gave mine a go just after watching the vid but the crap on my bike has been on it for probably years now, tried paraffin & WD40 but it wouldn't budge. So i took it to the power jet down at the garage with a bottle or Paraffin & it still didn't come off. Shocked
