No, I'll be using the proper stuff for brakes.

WD40 is just to lubricate wire wool/ Brillo pads to cleans the rims.

[Marino]

Clean it, changed oil and oil filter, cleaned and lubed chain, put it on ABBA stand, chain it to the ground anchor, covered and instructed guard dog what to do in case someone is around.

it’s time to go back on board, I hate myself

[Guest Swagman]

I did sod all.

[raesewell]

That's really interesting.

[Guest Swagman]

Bite me.

[Guest]

Why don't the Authorities do something about this shit instead of leaving it for me to inadvertently splash in?

Fortunately Death and Dismemberment was avoided........but it could have been so different!

[Fish]

Washed the bike then cleaned/waxed the chain. Getting pi$$ed off with not having bobbins to make the rear stand an easy task to do.

No since september ship went to Germany, Mukran in Baltic, but we will go to China by the end of December or early January.

ship will get Chinese flag and crew to cruise in China by the time rest of the world wake up and allow us to cruise.

so far we were lucky to keep our jobs and salaries, but if we don’t start cruise soon all ships will go to Chinese market.

fingers crossed

[Fish]

Then add the £55 for the bobbin mounting brackets to replace the OE Yam 125 chain adjuster blocks.

 

I'm hoping to not keep the bike that long so dont want to spend anything I don't really have to on it.

Is your rear axle hollow ?  As i use this for the old cbr600 

Its a length of threaded rod that goes through and i just attach bobbins and use that for quick lift 

( Remove after use though)

[Stu]

I used to use a bar through the wheel spindle on a bike before

I assumed all bikes could take bobbins

They are relatively newish really about 20 years old! so anything pre 2000 is hit and miss and even newer bikes are too 

[Fish]

I think it's down to cost cutting on 125's as it's a 2019 model bike. There are two blobs (technical term) that would be drilled out for the bigger models.
