Really enjoyed this little series! Thanks Nick

Its good to see a guide for real bikers who ride all year round on older bikes!

I have a self diagnosed CCD when it comes to my bike. I'm using the same polish as you but I didn't realise it was abrasive. I'm off out for wax now. Like a few others here I wouldn't put WD40 near my chain.
-
You use the wd40 to clean the chain, then scrub with normal motorcycle cleaner to remove the WD40 residue then lube.
-
Do not use wd 40 on the chain. Use O ring spray or lube.
-
dats a really big bottle of wd40... didnt know they had those...
-
Excellent collection of videos.
Thanks a bunch.
5/5

Hey Nick,
Got a question for you. I'm riding on a Honda Shadow and there are a lot of chrome parts all over. I loved these videos but I don't know exactly what, if anything, on your bike was chrome? Any tips when it comes to cleaning and polishing, etc.? THanks

Hi there
My advice with chrome is never to use an abrasive polish. Cosmetic chrome is very thin and repeated polishing will evetually wear through it. Use a wax instead and apply often for best results.
Kind regards

It's fine to use car shampoo, it's better than washing up liquid because it contains much less salt. You can get WD40 in 5 litre tubs from motor factors and they usually come with spray guns and should cost less than £15. Bargain!
Cheers
