New Boy
He will also probably be required to wear gloves too. Also i would reccomend a rugby shirt as these dont let the thorns straight through and offer a bit of protection from that evil thing known as the floor

Beta Lost All Power And Backfiring
75w is fine for gearbox just change it a little more often, also the 2 stroke oil you have will be fine what ever mixture you decide to use.

The Art Of Pulling A Wheelie
lean foward, extend your arms to compress the forks then shift your weight back but not too far, whilst leaning back twist the throttle to lift the front up. Just keep a finger onthe clutch and foot on the brake.

Chain Maintenance
Soak in degreasing solution, then spray with brake cleaner to dissolve everything. Then but the tin of wax made by putoline and boil the chain in that and remove and wipe off gently so as not to remove too much of the wax. I do this once or twice a month. In between i use putoline chain lube that doesnt fly off. if not PJ1 chain lube is quite good. Hope this helps.

Rack Issues
So your saying that these 6ft drops and steps etc dont put strain on the wheel bearings?? They are god damn tough so little lifting wont make much difference Just put it on the rack however you find easiest. I would guess that front wheel first would be the easiest OR just buy a VAN

Chain Length
that will be the general point made in this thread Get a renthal or regina or DID one in the longest length so it can be cut down if neccessary

Plastics Cleaning!
Jamie where can I get this DW 40 from? i`m well up for spraying my bike with the stuff if it brings me horses (especailly Shires), I`m sure I could sell said horses too the local Pikeys for a couple of quid Wow someone else has local pikeys as well as me I had my bike nicked from college today and when i find those pikey/chav scum they aint gonna look too good. Use the old knife to leg trick so the pussies cant run away
