NYUK Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 jack up the rear of the bike. put a zip tie around the front brake handle, start it, put it in 1 st gear let it idle with the rear wheels spinning,wrap a strip of emory paper around the axle, slide it from side to side. CAREFULLY. GET SOMEONE TO HELP YOU. spray with wd 40 after sanding, and after every ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 id do what NYUK said, but instead of letting it idle you should hold it wide open. it will take less time to get it clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 well, if we get a reply, we will know if it worked or not.....if we dont............i think it's safe to say fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbanshee Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 x2 throw it up on a jack or if you dont have a jack a spare tire or something take of the rear tires and just have the bike in first and put sand paper to tge axle. if you have a buddy who can give it gas in third gear it will be faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECshee Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 it sounds like it would work, but things dont always go the way they should.....we need a response to see if this works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 it sounds like it would work, but things dont always go the way they should.....we need a response to see if this works!

AKheathen Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 yah, best to use long strips of emmery cloth. i remember that post last year about the guy getting caught cleaning or waxing his chain. my freind used por15 or caliper paint on his....can't remember what, but i think it was por15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
