Real Unhappy

[opas ride]

That is the problem, I Do, my M109R Suzuki Boulevard I traded in on this, they said was the cleanest and nicest 8 year old bike they had ever taken in. There is a reason for that, I look at every thing and clean it to the nth degree when I find dirt and I am still not happy with the rear rim/.JMHO

Seadog....I here ya my friend and can relate to your paranoia..Until I got into my middle 70's I was a clean "freak" on every bike I have ever owned...All of the bikes I have traded in over the years, never had to be detailed in any way before the dealer put it on the floor to sell...The Victory Vision I had for over 3 years, and traded on my F6B, did not have a mark, blemish, or dirt anywhere and like your dealer, my dealer said he had never seen a bike in showroom condition like mine in all the years he had been in business....I do agree the rear wheel is a dust collector, but the few times I have cleaned it, I spray a solution of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water from a bottle, let it soak for a few minutes and wipe it out with a sponge...Works fine until it gets dirty again, real fast, so I am no longer going to worry about it and clean the thing when I want to lie down and do it...Otherwise my bike is spotless including underneath the pipes, motor , etc...I guess I am still a little "anal"???...Oh well, it keeps me out of trouble and occupied....Ride safe

I don't think I can make it if there is going to be rubber glove inspections/exams.

With Stro , you never know. It could be a white rubber glove.

Sure beats the goo encrusted rear sprocket/rim of a chain drive you have to admit.

No truer words have been spoken in this forum.

You got that right. Chain lube that doesn't distribute itself from one end of the bike to the other hasn't been invented yet.

Dog I'll tell you how I do it. I run it up on the lift. Put it on the center stand. Raise the lift till its just the right height for me sitting on my roller stool. Then I clean the wheel. About 5 minutes for the whole process.
