simonpick Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hello, I have purchased a smart gas gas 2003 raga and as Im a novice rider Im definately gonna fall off the bike , so I am in need of a few tips on how to keep the bike as clean as it is?? Any pointers of what wash to use, etc, would be really appreciated!!! Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 if ur a newcomer i would suggest putting tetroseal down the frame from head stock to footpegs. this will protect against quite a few nasty nocks and scrathes. fork protectors may be advisible especially the skinz as these protect higher up the fork legs.

jjwhite Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 all of these techniques are good, and be sure to technosel the whole thing including swingarms (you can quite easilly wear off the gold paint on these with your boots) however, a slightly more simple way is to either go to your local bike dealer, if they supply it, and buy some "muck off". great stuff, just get the bulk of the mess off it, spray the bike with "muck off", leave it for 5 mins, then spray it off aiding with a brush. just a thought though, you said you are a novice, WHY DID YOU GET A RAGA REP???

jools Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Jet wash your wheels, engine etc. then use a bucket and sponge on the plastics coz jet washers can rip off stickers and lacquer. After washing, use duck oil on the wheels, frame and any chrome bits. do all this as soon as you get home from riding.

pandelboy Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) If it helps anyone reading this thread i use some bike cleaner that is exactly the same gear as Muck Off supplied by AJL motorsports who are on EBAY.

simonpick Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 JJWHITE, We got a raga rep cos haven trialsport gave us a right deal, and it seemed cheap for such a bike. Im 17 yr old and just getting into trials after practicing on a beta rev 3. Although im a s**t rider Ive still got a nice bike!
