Hi folks, well I am slowly working on my bike now, getting it ready for April an April 7th start date.


I changed my sparkplugs today, uneventfully. and had my air fileter cleaned at BK a few weeks before.


Plan on changing my oil and filter 2 weeks from today but next week I plan on sitting down and taking a toothbrush (new one) and cleaning the chain throughly.


Anyone give advice as to whether I can use WD40 to clean the chain then apply lube after cleaning and drying it off ? I won't be taking the chain off the bike, got the rear stand will just sit down and scrub like nuts....

WARNING Do NOT use WD-40 it has water in i and will eat your chain from the inside out!
Diesel or lamp oil is best.......and use an old tooth brush(softer) and treat yourself to the new one. BF

lol, thanks for the toothbrush advice, will do so. Now when you say lamp oil ? you mean "Kerosine" ? where would I get such a small amount ? or Diesel ?

So PH-Q2 I should clean it with diesel, go light with the scrubbing, and then lube it after ?
