Make a bike check of this so I can do a bike of the day on it. Nice bike!

I always loosen it all up then spin the front wheel kinda fast and pull the front brake in and stop the wheel a couple times then re torque everything back to spec.

It isn't necessary if it's not askew, but it's basically loosening everything up from axle to triple clamps letting everything relax in an unbound state, and making sure it's all straight before re-tightening.

Had to try and make my bike match the truck. Love this thing.

Numero uno is cut the badge off. cause they arent paying you. Second is hit with ultrafine scotchbrite with wd40 without hitting the welds. Third is hit it with SOS pad and then you're good to go.

Steel wool and a mixture of bleach and water and they always come out great.

I started using Cerakote detailing wipes and it is hands down the best for keeping the pipe looking awesome. I cleaned my pipe really good with scotchbrite pads, wipe clean with parts cleaner, then wiped again with rubbing alcohol just in case. Then you wipe on the Cerakote (they’re little disposable wipes you can get a pack of 10 on Amazon for like $15). Waited about an hour and wiped on a second coat. The main portion of the pipe has held up with zero maintenance. I do have to touch up the initial curved part of my 250 pipe...

I have hundreds of hours in SG12s across many different pairs. Rode a bunch in the SG-22s (and many other boots). Here is a direct comparison: Hope that helps. BP

I use BelRay’s version of WD40 and a drywall sanding block. I can’t remember which grit, whatever feels reasonable. I’ll coat the pipe and let it soak for a few minutes then get to rubbing. I really love the finish the drywall block provides. When it comes to pipe cleaning there is no get out of jail free card, you have to do the work.

I use a scotchbrite pad to clean it then WD40

Its been awhile so thought I'd check out the kawi 2t thread, only to find it's become a XR thread 😂
