XTreme Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 The bike had an oil and filter change yesterday, so today it got fuelled to the brim and then went through the Jet Wash! Next stage is a good polish and then clean and lube the chain. Plenty of time to do that though.....cos it's not going anywhere soon! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Had a leaky fork at work yesterday so I tried making one of those seal cleaners out of an old milk bottle and had a bit of a scrape last night. It seemed to stop the leak, but the ride to work tomorrow will let me know for sure. Gave the Kriega fork cover things a clean up and refitted them, quite a bit of grit loose inside the one on the leaky fork, but clean as a whistle on the fork that is behaving, so I'm hoping that was all it was. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
