    Just use the green diluted. You can also get a "Ready to use" mix yellow at the hardware. Good stuff.

    The agency has been through a few hands over the past couple of years. If you want to try it and are in Wanganui, give the guys at MacDonald Equipment a call, Heads Rd Wanganui. Most Tradezone Engineers Merchants should stock it.

    1. any adverse effect on chain lube and pivot points?
    2. any longterm adverse effect on painted parts?

    It's the best stuff that I've used for cleaning the bike. Don't know of any problems using it on plastic, etc, although I mainly use it for cleaning wheels, swingarm and engine.

    The rest of the time I give the bike a quick daily wipe over with the pledge wipes from the supermarket and everything's sweet.

    Im a fan of it. when I got the CB 4oo the guy before me had used some shit (it might have BEEN shit for all I know) as chainlube and the poor baby had half inch thick layer of crap all over the swingarm, inside th ecover, under the chainguard, everywhere. the simple green in the squirt bottle worked like a charm.

    I think I got mine from "The Peoples Ballantynes" aka te Whare whare

    Im another fan.

    Got a mate who is a Bike Groomer... he swears by it (diluted tho) and he also reckons Diluted Handy Andy rocks, thats what I use and its fantastic. Spray it on then hose it off, buggerall elbow grease reqd.
