Rode it like I stole it

I W-w-w-washed it. Yes finally washed it.

It looks kinda different without the mud and salt.
Still left with grease and cack on wheels behind swing arm and nooks and grannies. Sidestand is plastered in shite. ( I said washed it not cleaned it)

What do you shiney bike owners use to get the real sticky crap off. I've emptied half a bottle of Muc-off today and barely started.

Also paintwork on rear plastice and leading edge of front mudguard look like they are washed out to a very pale colour. will it T-cut back or is it focced.
I'll try and put a piccie up later.

finished preping the rear caliper mounting bracket and stay bar for painting. removed old standard exhuast (which weighed alot more than I was expecting) and trial fitted my blueflame, very nice and a lot lighter! It fitted perfectly so took it off again to clean in behind where the exhaust is and will refit it when everything else is done.

Nice to work with the garage door open and not be freezing too

Comitted the ultimate sin yesterday and ..................jet washed it

just to get at all the really cruddy bits.
Then polished it today, a bit. Looks better, but winter has not been kind to the poor old girl.

While the back wheel and exhaust are off, I took the chance to clean around the front of the swing arm/dog legs/swing arm pivot/rear spring etc and it has come up very nicely, was all caked in years of thick sticky muck so glad to get it all off and looking a lot nicer, can see the red spring now!

Checked and topped up coolant, adjusted scottoiler and free play in clutch leaver (still not right) Went for a two hour blast where I had a horrid time with clutch leaver. Tomoz will be mainly swearing at clutch leaver while attempting to rectify the issue.

Daz

PS pissed her indoors off again with the probability of doing the same tomoz

Thanks Christot , Yamaha "originals" I believe - came with the bike, make life a lot easier when touring and don't upset the handling as much as a top box IMO.

My bike is by no means shiny (a few winters and a couple of times down the road) but I find, for the really sticky stuff and especially the rear wheel, that WD40 makes life so much easier.

So no red mist moments on the ride there that could have put your BP up?
