I've always heard that its better to do this sort of thing by hand than to let the engine spin the chain - not sure how much truth / accuracy there is in it but it seems less harsh and less likely you will lose your fingers :eek

Fuks sake Deadeye I was joking and I didn't think anyone would think I was serious.....I always spin the wheel by hand Smile

Oops, sorry :o :o :o *embarrassed*

I am useless at being able to tell if someone is joking or not - swear I have a condition :|

My Scottoiler has stopped working as well, but I'm happy to do the work myself

so if I get my wife to rev the bike while in second gear, and I hold a rag covered in mr sheen, around the chain that,s about right, also fill the scootoiler with wd 40. Wink

Dont forget to wash your tyres and brake discs with any spare wd40.

Oh and a handfull or two of sand in your fuel tank improves your MPG Wink

For gods sake I'm joking to anyone reading this!!

I heard that putting 6" nails in your tyres helps with grip when riding in snow and ice too! Big Grin
