Well im bored and in a pic posting mood lol

Decided I'd remove the sprocket cover and clean up all round that area as its mucky as hell. Used the parafin method with a paint brush and tooth brush and the results were good. Could have cleaned it up a bit better but getting in all the nooks and crannies was a pain. Bikes been stood a while so excuse the rusty chain links Embarassed

Regreased the clutch cable mechanism and springs etc using universal grease and also the spline that is sticking out.

Lesson learnt - Rinse off the parafin youve sprayed everywhere and let it evaporate BEFORE warming the engine up... Embarassed

Well the other day when i put my new fuel tap on it turned out to be dodgy and leaking.

Wondered what the stuff dripping out of the bottom of the bike was and why loads of smoke was coming off exhaust....

Shocked
