Swarfega and a toothbrush !!
« on: June 01, 2007, 08:09:32 PM »
I decided that the bike was looking a bit on the mucky side (for me) and I wasn't sure how much field they'd got out of the nooks and crannies, so have spent 6 hours or so over the last few days removing panels and cleaning it up.

Used a toothbrush and swarfega for the oily bits, which works really well.

Once the oily bits were cleaned, I gave them a good going over with ACF-50 and replaced the panels. Chain was thoroughly cleaned and re-waxed............I'd fogotten what the chain originally looked like.

Looking a lot better now................nearly as clean as when it rolled off the production line in Japan !

Pics below:



and the chain:



See ya.

Wow ! hard to believe that's the same bike that was in the crash photos a few days ago- well done that man !

Now you'd better get the toothbrush back to the bathroom before the wife needs it before she goes to bed...    [whistle]
