  1. Sounds good - think Im working saturday, I will give you a call tomorrow
  2. Yeah - took it out for its maiden voyage yesterday for a quick bimble round - its running sweet now
  3. On my MX and Enduro bikes I have always used "pro-clean" and a pressure washer (not too close with the lance though) and nothing has got the bikes cleaner - until a few months ago, when I picked up a new product that was being sold at an MX race / meeting at Mepal. The stuff is called "Rhino Goo" and its is absolutely superb. They had a stall there and were doing special promitonal deals and after seeing lots of people in the paddocks after the race using it on their bikes, I bought a load (after getting their views on it). It gets the bikes just as clean (if not cleaner) than "pro-clean", but leaves a nice coating / sheen behind, almost as if the bike has been gone over with silicon. This is very noticeable, as after washing, the water beads off the plastics, like it would if its been polished / waxed I've also used it on my jetski after its been in salt water and its just as good and shows its not corrosive, as my jetski is very shiny still Basically, you use a pressure washer to remove as much dirt as you can, let most of the water run off of the bike and then coat in rhino goo. Wait a few minutes and then go over it with the pressure washer again, avoiding all bearings and forks seals with the lance. Theres no need to get too close with the lance. If you get the wheels off the ground by putting the bike on a stand, you can get the wheels spinning with the pressure washer by pointing it at an angle onto the tyre tread - this enables you to get the wheels pristine as they are going round :Edited to say, Ive never tried the wax thats on their website, so if anyone orders some let me know how it goes please
  4. I have a few bottles of Motorex 10w50 fully synthetic engine oil that I use in KTM's (including gearbox), will this oil be ok for the gearbox in my '06 beta rev 3 250 please? Otherwise is there something that can be bought in halfords that would be more suitable? Cheers
  5. Has anyone any advice on eye protection while trials riding please? Are there any suitable safety glasses that work ok inside a helmet? I use mx goggles for enduros, but they are probably overkill for trials cheers
