    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What kind of tips and tricks are out there for keeping your ride clean and looking good? What kinds of products do you like to use to help you keep it that way? Although this may seem a simple task to some, others could benefit from someone elses secrets. Let's hear from all of you!
 
I use WD40 to clean just about everything on the bike except the tires, body, seat and gauges. I have a tube of scratch remover that I use on the body, nothing on the tires and gauges. I use mothers polish on my rims shiny spots.
 
I clean everything on my bikes with Honda's spray polish - the stuff is incredible!! 8)
 
I wash my rims with Dish Soap (that yellow brand... can't remember) I wipe over it with a rag full of the stuff, wipe it dry, and then use a fine steel wool. I also clean my rims in forths... clean one quarter, and then clean the next, etc.

Also... they're much easier to clean when they arn't on the bike... however... don't take them off just to clean them.

And. If you've got an area on your bike that has a lot of grease, instead of wiping it off with a rag, getting a little on it, and thus having to retire it from "cleaner rag" status, take a small peice of steel wool and get it off that way.
 
I found "Suzuki" brand cleaner works pretty good.
When I am finished I put S100 engine brightener on my motor.
Does a wonder on black engines. 8) 8)
 
Silicone for all the rubber parts.
"2001" for the seat.
Any decent wax over all paint, metals and plastic.
 
S100 bike wash is pretty amazing. Gets off big grease chunks and leaves a nice shine behind.

Mothers mag and aluminum polish for the shiny wheel edges.

STP's version of armor-all for all the plastic and tire sidewalls. Don't get any on the tread! And nothing on the seat either!

This is right after a wash. The paint is not real good on this bike, but the S100 makes it shine real nice.....
