Cheapest place to buy kerosene?

[The End]

This mainly refers to using WD40 on a chain, but also includes results for kerosene.

Well the bike manual recommends kerosene. What do you use?

Shaft drive. What chain?

A really impressive rubber band...

I remember running kerosene in my '73 Honda C50 step through, circa 1977. My mate said it would work and it did, to a point.

Ran fine on the flat but going up the hill and under load it started losing steam, then I'd run beside it and keep up with poor thing as it struggled to cope with this smelly greasy shit that I'd filled it's tank up with.

Went back to petrol after that , happiest step through in town.

I used cooking oil in an old mx bike seemed to run ok and made a nice fried chippy smell too

Burger pattie grease is probably the smelliest, but the lubrication properties are indisputable.

Stop being pretentious and just use methylated spirits filtered through white bread.

Nice and cheap, and seems to do the trick

A quick google shows many forums say it is OK thoughj so I guess caveat emptor.

Cool. Where can I buy a litre of Caveat Emptor?
Will it be OK to still use an old toothbrush with this stuff?

Oh shit, that is really cheap, I sound a little snobby and should lower my standards a bit

I only clean my chain with Kero now, bought a bottle from the Warehouse. It doesn't matter how much it costs, I used to use expensive cleaners because I didn't know any better, and also didn't lube my chain properly/often enough. I learnt my lesson though after having to replace my chain sooner than I should of.

My advice after 49,000km, and on my third chain which is lasting very well now:

Kero clean only when the chain gets really dirty, especially after wet, rainy periods and the chain 'darkens', then lube properly every 1000km (at least), or staight away after wet/rainy weather.

Also replace your rear sprocket when you change your chain to prolong the life of the chain. You may be able to get away with keeping the sprocket if there is minimal wear though, but any wear will eventually shorten the life of the chain...

I'm doing 1000km per week now, so the chain is quite an imporant in my weekly maintenance.

I prefer to replace both sprockets with the chain. I think that's fairly standard.

Fuck off. Official "Hardley Going-son" stealership branded products would be around $25- per litre in comparison.

Not a genuine fishead then, eh?
