Hi there.where can i find the wd40?how will i ask for it ?

[DrivenandRidden]

I get it from the local motor factors EK Brakes. They supply garages etc rather than the general public, but will still sell over the counter to you.

Kind regards

what kind of gloves are you wearing in this? disposable?

[DrivenandRidden]

Hi there

Yes they're disposable latex gloves, we sell them on our online shop but you'll be able to get them from most motor factors too. They stop oil getting engrained into your hands.

Cheers

What do you use to clean under the seats and around the battery area???? Its very dusty and dirty down there.

[DrivenandRidden]

Hi there

I use a rag and WD40 usually.

Cheers

Great tips!

I am a freak when it comes to cleaning my bikes and to see someone put together a series for the guys out there that think it's cool to not worry about having a clean ride, is fantastic.

Nice clear voice over and great close ups.

Keep up the good work!

lol you take such care, all i do is power was it =/

[ranjeet9868]

is there any way to remove scratch??? plz tell

[BenGuitar89]

Great video series. One thing to note however, is that WD-40 is not kerosene based, so be careful when using it on the chain as it is a penetrating solution that can remove the lubricant from the o-rings.

Hey just wanted to say thanks for taking time to do a thorough video. Really provided some useful ideas

[gshdrums]

Dont use cutting compound unless you want a good patch of very visable swirls

[oederdekoe]

Today I tried it and my grandfather said I didn't need WD40 because it works with benzine and I tryed it and its true!

[oederdekoe]

what should i use to get all the grease from the chain on my rear tire off with? Should i use break cleaner? THanks.

"dont get it on you're tyres, brake pads or controls, as you'll probably brash " i nearly pissed myself when i heard that :L

My bike is only a couple of months old so there isn't any built up dirt but i want to keep it good and clean. The parts i worry about cleaning are the engine and breaks. Is there a cleaner for these parts that i can use that wont cause dammage if i accidently get it on the wrong part of the bike?
