I've gotten married since I bought the bike and joined the forums and luckily my wife loves motorcycles. Now I get her to get her to get on the bike and move it for me and the job goes a lot faster. It also makes washing, waxing and applying Armor All a lot easier too :2tup:
Do a search on the forum and look for home built axle stands. They will make the job a lot quicker and easier.

Anybody have a link for that please.

Re: chain lube frequency

Regarding Fling from chain lubes. I found much of it flings off the front sprocket and is collected under the sprocket cover. An inspection every 3rd or 4th oil change is not a bad idea. Be prepared for an ugly mess 1st time round. After changing to DuPont with Teflon as a lube there was very little fling after 25,000kms of riding.

Re: chain lube frequency

well here I go use the suzuki chain lub spray 8oz or 17 oz can & acan of motol street chain lub
& wd 40 spray take the sprocket cover off 3 bolts & the chain guard off raise up the bike so the rear tire
is off the ground put a rag under the chain spray wd40 on the chrome wheel & wipe it off now
its clean the chain spray the chain bottom in the middle of it & rotate the wheel at the same time
take a paper towel fold it so its small hold it close to the top of the rear sprocket not toutching it
turn the wheel forward & watch the lube strings been pulled catch the strings with the paper towel
white one is better to see it fly off than spray a little of the mototol spray lub on the sides of the links spin tire a little wipe off the swing arm fender & the chain damper top and bottom put the covers back on done 1st time took me 1.75 hrs now takes only 30 to 45 min I do it after every ride
