It is finally time to service the bike. The grease on the swingarm, tire rim, chain guard, all takes time to wipe it all off. As I was dry wiping the grease off, I noticed the dust and rain stains peppered on the frame. I thought, 'what can I experiment with' and looked over at the can of WD. It began to cut thru the burned on grease at the stainless finish on the mid-pipe. I looked at the black can and drying any cling off that surface looked OK; until I sighted it from a different angle.
That's when I sprayed WD on the paper towel, wiped all those cooked on spots away. I then took a dry towel and wiped the WD off until the muffler was dry again. Then onto the frame. The bike only sees water; if I'm stuck in the rain.
So that's my cutting agent test. It was on a whim to try WD.
The bike is ready for a set of tires and a service interval at the steering neck. I'll try videoing the front end work with a new camera. I also have a leaking fork seal to replace.
