Seany's process.
1. Use kero and paint brush to remove old lube and dirt from chain, swing arm, stands, wheels and anywhere else it manages to get to. Also remember to take the case of the front sprocket and clean in there ocaisioanly. Then rinse kero off with hose.
2. Wet bike with hose.
3. Soap bike with Kitten car wash and rinse off.
4. Dry with chamoi.
5. Wax with Kitten cream polish.
6. Quick ride to blow dry and warm chain.
7. Lube chain with Belray super clean lube.

Note: Have recently found Polyglaze Waterless wash to be ideal for a mid week tidy up.
Little black duck upsets easily. Reassure and give beer.

Very Nice Tanya.

Now when you're on your trip the bugs will just glance off.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Man... all I do is wipe my bike down with a wet cloth once a week, degrease and re-lube the chain every 2 - 3 rides.

But then again, my bike is not a 'real bike' just a 250 lol :lol:
