WD40 Rules!!
Well i forgot to mention have just used my nice shiney new can, on my power steering belt on my car to stop it squeaking! 8) I really need to get a new belt as its out of adjustment, only changed it about 2 months ago, but the dicks in the shop obviously gave me the wrong one as it was nearly at the end of its adjustment when i first fitted it, i hoped it would have been ok, but has stretched too much :evil:

Bike covers.?
Well i presume its for outdoor use, is it to store the bike in or everyday use. As you can get vacuum bags, and you can get ride in bags, you can also get bags with rust inhibitors in, and tent bags blah blah blah Motrax make pretty good ones for around £40

why do you own a yam?
Well i so nearly brought a Fireblade, as my dads mate had an import which was all carbon :shock: Looked the nuts 8) Went like stink and to be honest i couldnt really say anything bad against it. Then i started to think i dont want to be like everyone else and wanted to get something different, so i went the YZF route :wink:

DT125 Lights
Personally i would fit an after market front on, as i know how crap the standard lights are even when the engine is running! I remember seeing a front think it was an acerbis one which had proper bulbs too :wink: and was about £40

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Well im normally always just wash them everytime i use the bike and rub a hard wax on them. But there was some road tar on them (At last hot sticky tarmac 8) ) Should have just polished it off rather than trying to take the easy way :evil:

The trick i used to use on my motorcross bikes was to slide something under the grips and move around, spray some wd40 in there, twist and hey presto they come off. Then leave them to soak in hot soapy water and wash them off. Spray the insides with hairspray and quickly slide on making sure that they are the right way round, leave for a few minutes and hey presto 8)
