I don't like what a wire wheel will do to an alloy surface, but I suppose there wire wheels and then there are wire wheels.

Safety Nazi, switched ON. No one has mentioned the safety issues- But Nitrile gloves will go a long way in protecting your hands from the chemicals. While doing a a 4 barrel carb rebuild (full immersion cleaner) as a kid, I managed to chemically peel my hands--skin come off like potato chips. It was here at the KLR forum, I learned about Nitrile gloves, as someone was posting pictures with 'blue gloves'. Can be obtained at Walmart in the automotive section, or Harbor Freight (sales, loss leaders) from time to time. I am certain, Other stores have them...where I live there are not that many stores, choices. The older you get, the less resilient your skin; and some of this wonderful chemical is directly absorbed through your skin and is captured in your liver. Lovely thought. From what I read, you would do well to protect your skin while changing the oil as well. revmaaatin. safety glasses suggested as well for wire wheeling, scraping, and chemical spraying. ps. last time I looked, not a single blind KLR rider.

Hi Scott- A have sinned; WIKI: Captain Samuel Nicholas formed two battalions of Continental Marines on 10 November 1775 in Philadelphia as naval infantry. I mistated the USMC date as there was no US prior to the declaration, as most do not understand how our forces could predate the declaration. and Thank you for your service. revmaaatin. to old to serve, but not to old to appreciate those that serve.
