Cleaning up the guts of the bike
« on: February 22, 2015, 06:18:30 PM »
While my bike is torn apart I'm going to degrease the crap out of it and clean up all the guts. 
From this 9 years of curd from light use. 







To this






I used O'reileys brand degreaser and Gunk "shine" protective coating.  I just put on the protective coating when I took the pictures and quickly put it back together.

That's funny, my friends has a p250, he tore it all apart to replace plastics and cleaned it for hours, the bike ended up looking like new!!!

I'll have some pics up when I get home.  It started raining so I couldn't finish the "shine" coat last night.

Is there anything you should take care to avoid when doing this? I'm assuming the tires at least.

Don't get water in the airbox. That's about all. Avoid harsh chemicals on the plastic parts due to discoloring etc.
