    watch what you hit with degreaser - some seals don't like it, and if it gets into bearings they don't last long

    and it removes graphics...

    IF i elect to get my bike sparkly i use good ol' warm soapy water with a few rags and a toothbrush... does take half a day though


    and it pays to grease bolts so stop them rusting in place
    Thats true I can't possibly open any gear out on the RM and a mate whose been riding for a while can't open second out in places too. Its just so peaky and he reckons its as fast if not faster than his 08 4 stroke kawaka 250.

    EJK they compete in the same race class as 250 four strokes too.

    Andrew- I hit whatever dirt I could see with de-greaser. What sorts of seals don't like it. Maybe next time you could point them out to me so I can take more care?

    yep the 125 2stroke should be as fast as the 250 four - just the 250 four has power and torque everywhere plus a handy engine brake plus they're a fair bit less temperamental....

    aren't all mx bikes standard with race parts like mufflers? watch out it doesn't muck up the tuning of the expansion chamber or fuel/air mix or you'll be losing power and possibly seize or melt a hole in the piston if it runs too lean

    i can only assume forks, brakes and chain plus any less than perfectly sealed bearings/bushes - BUT wouldn't know for sure, so stay clear myself

    it does work though
