pschrauber Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 No idea which grease, for long time storing I use Ballistol oil for bare metal parts. Works good and it leaves a pretty slick coating. The oil is designed for weapons and doesn't harm plastic or rubber. It does even smell good and is not toxic. Here to get in the UK: http://www.ballistoluk.co.uk/acatalog/Authorised_Ballistol_Dealers.html or try flea-bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penno350 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Get yourself down to the next Aqueduct Classics trial in North Wales www.aqueductclassics.org 18th November. Great bunch of lads and sensible sections for twinshocks, classics and beginners on modern bikes plus catering. Fantastic day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I suggest spraying the whole bike (discs and pads excepted) with WD40 or Contect duck oil. When you want to clean it spray it with Janitol original in water at a ratio of between 10:1 and 20:1. This removes the duck oil and brings all the much off with it. After washing re duck oil the bike. You bike will look new for years if treated in this way. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
