cleaning

Thought i'd try this out on some of you, basically you're looking at £100 and the work will take most of the day. Bike first cleaned and washed with Muc-off and hose. Bodywork polished of course. Wheels removed, discs removed, both cleaned. Calipers stripped and greased with red...

:banghead So just been cleaning the Tuono.... Bloody hell what a job considering the bike 'looks' clean. Don't people these days make any effort ? Is it so difficult to remove the footrests (2 10mm bolts) to do the swingarm behind them.... and the back of the footrests. You can't...

hi,just bought rsv factory it has got blue oz wheels just wondering what is the best thing to clean them with as they are quite hard to clean many thanks.....:

Hey folks, I have stripped my machine to clean it, for a number of reasons... it was ****** really, and a fit dolly I was keen to empress would not get on it! Not sure if it was the inch of dirt, salt and mud or the fact to start it I had to do the lift seat/solenoid short trick... chicks eh...

I have a Scottoiler fitted on my Mille-R, and she's coming up to her bi-annual spring clean. The rear wheel is caked in oil, so here's my question: How can I get it looking pristine, using products that cost next to nothing and which would take the very minimum effort and labour? I know it is a...

Just spent an age cleaning the bike. Those gold rims are an absolute pig to clean!:crazy:banghead Just thought I would share that!

After a good rideout yesterday I put a protector aluminum mesh on radiators and oil cooler and cleaned the bike this morning . A couple of new things are the screen which Smiffy gave me (Thanks again Smiffy :thumbup) and a headlamp protector. :biggrin

Alright all..........:thumbup I've been on recently with what i thought was brake problems (seems to have turned out that i'm just a big fairy and there's nothing wrong with them!!). My question today is regarding the removal and cleaning of the calipers. This has nothing to do with my initial...

It's a long time since I looked after a set of leathers, so I set about looking at cleaning and nourishing creams on the net. Fook me hasn't that business expanded over the last 10 years!! Well, what I want to know is what you all use on your leathers, mine have engrained ***** in them and I...

Was bored yesterday so thought I would clean the Oil Cooler. When I took it off the bike I could see the matrix was 50-60% blocked with crud (not surprising on an 8 year old bike). :exclamation Well 3 hours later and all the crud was out leaving a nice clean unblocked matrix :doug, I used a...

Okay, so whats the best engine cleaner/degreaser ?... :dunno looks like someone has cleaned my engine with 5 litres of oil and a bucket of sand !! :jack, so it needs a damn good seeing to :doug

I have the EVO air kit on my bike and am wanting to clean the filter. Does anyone know the official method? Is it like the K&N and BMC that needs special cleaner and then re-oiling or is it a type that you wash with soap and water and doesn't require re-oiling? Thanks, Mark.

Chaps, any tips re above? I guess that a wax polish won't do it, but what does? regards Willie
