And washed my bike for once. I forgot how sexy it looks under the pile of dirt and grime. Before: Some things are just sexier when they are wet I don't know, if my bike didn't break something every time I wash it, I might actually do it more often |

Froggy, or anybody else really, what do you use to get the brake/exhaust crud off the rear wheel especially the spoke "holes"? I need to wash mine before winter and am looking for any tips. |

I used simple green sprayed it on and left it for a few mins. Mine just rinsed off and it was the first time I have ever washed it. |

Impressive! Last time I tried the stuff it was worthless... Probably user error. |

Froggy - I just love your bike! Looks good clean. Of course, you know City is going to say it never had a layer of mud on it! |

Sexy bike. I washed mine on monday, went through a 30foot mud trough... Later that day, I fried the clutch trying to get past(over) railroad tracks. Somewhere I have a picture of the dirty lil beast. |

Svh, I use Malco CW-37. Its the pink jug in the background. A spoon full of that is all you need, its super diluted. I also use a green peanut shaped sponge with microfiber surface. Thanks for the comments, the more I think about it, the more I feel like retiring the bike and getting a CR. 24hrs now, still down, long story with that! |

Why does your shifter look funny? Is the upper arm backwards ? |

GP shift, great for fooling thiefs and the dyno guy! Had a co worker try my bike, he kept stalling as he shifted it into second and not fist, then he got lost and couldn't find neutral. I told him the bike has a way of knowing if you own a jap bike and it wouldn't let you ride it. |

What's with the wire wrapped around your rear brake line ? |

Bob, even my brand new belt that is the wrong belt looks like that. Skinstains, speed sensor for the race computer on the left of the handle bar
