why not to use wd40 for cleaning.....

[Eckert, Christopher (Infrastructure Solut]

I just got some 55/www Hella bulbs to replace the 1 burned out one on my 08. I reached up behind the fairing this weekend to replace it and it is tight. I can feel the connector and can pull it off but cant really see much while I am doing it. Is there an easier way to replace the bulbs? Should I be pulling the fairing for this? Am I just confused again?

WD40 has been working for me for many years and I have lots of miles on several chains. If someone wanted an alternative I would say go buy a 1/2 galon of deisel or Kerosene and put it in a spray bottle. It will probably clean the chain just as well and wont leave too much sticky resido like the chain lubes they sell so they can sell more chains. I havent looked but I bet it is cheaper than WD40 in the end

Thank you Jeff. Maybe I had better put the bike up on the British beer crate before I try it. It sounds easier than the two tires at once bit was but I don't have a good track record lately ________________________________ From: Jeff Khoury [mailto:jeff@...] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 12:02 PM To: Eckert, Christopher (Infrastructure Solutions Dept.)
