It's terrible really.

It was green, but apparently it goes to fast for a green one and Kawasaki had it back on a recall to confirm that the green paint was sliding off with the force, so they had to put the  faster TITANIUM colour on it as the green couldn't handle it.

Honest, I have proof.


Now where did I put that recall letter that I dreamt about?

Took it for a bit of a blast to warm the chain up and lubed it well right after the clean pics were taken.  I had taken an hour to clean the chain off with a tooth brush before that.

Problem is now my teeth are black and I can 't chew on anything as the food keeps sliding around in my mouth  [rofl] [rofl]

Washed the whole bike first, then had a small pot of white spirits with a tooth brush and the bike up on the paddock stand.  Just cleaned every link till I got back to the clean ones.  Don't forget there 2 sided chains (clean the oother side of it as well) then I put it in first gear and let it roll over, sprayed a bit of muc off onto it and followed by the garden hose.   Get the chain warm and then lube it up baby yeah!.

I only do this a couple of times throughout the year mind, it's usually a squirt of scottoil (left over from last bike) and then chain wax over the top of it, whilst its still warm.

Oil the inside of the chain, wax the outside of the chain.
