Spring Clean

Few bits and bobs to do on the NC30, so it was off with the fairing time and what a hassle that was. Seized fasteners(sp) galore on the lowers and missing some on the uppers inside the front fairing, but got em all though. Will be replaced with a probolt kit.
So one naked NC30

And some where in there is a 400cc V-Four engine.

The build quality of the NC30 is awesome for some thing so small. Everything fits in such a small place.

I bet you use wheel cleaner by the gallon with those wheels! Very nice, when the summer is here I'd like to spend a day stripping the CBR down to the bones and giving it a good cleaning down properly.

Muc-off, easiest stuff to use. Used it for years. Spray on, wash of with water. Jobs a good un.

I bet that arrow sounds pretty sweet too!

Hmm, Arrow is a just an Art with a sticker on.

It dont sound to bad. Looking to put a carbon fibre can on at some point.
Would love a dual can set up, but they are a) expensive and b) rare.

I have seen this muc off stuff, a mate used it yesterday to wash his bandit after it hasnt been cleaned for 4 weeks at this time of year! The mud just fell off, is it cheap to buy?

I buy the 5ltr bottles from local mountainbike shop then just top up the squeezy-spray bottle when im cleaning the bike.
Not overly expensive, £18 for 5ltrs doing a quick google.

Cheers mate, is it alright to get it on brake disks etc, it wont make the brakes weak if it gets on them? After seeing how easy it made my mates cleaning I am going to get myself some.

naw, used to liberaly spray the front wheel to clean all the cack and brake dust, same with the calipers. Just sprayed lots of water on to clean it off. Just hose pipe pressure though, didnt use a power washer on it. Brings it up nicely when you dry it with a chamois cloth.
When i was commuting every day would clean the bike every weekend with muc-off during the winter, kept it the Firestorm looking good. Works wonders on wheels where you get the drips from the chain oiler.

How is the CBR by the way?
