Best way is to have the bike on a stand, and spin the rear tire while constantly spraying on a sprocket (front or rear)

The other 'lazy' way which is what I usually do is just spray it where you can, move it forward a bit - spray a bit more and then go for a ride.

Haven't got one of those fancy stands, so I'll have to go with the wheel forward method...

Those stands, I'm guessing you need the bits that bolt on to the bike that the stand lifts it up on? What are they called and are they seperate or you get em with the stand?

Definitely get on it. It's mostly about lengthening the life of your chain and sprockets (and not having it overheat and snap on you), but it does make the bike ride quieter and smoother to ride too.

I usually spray it on the exposed part of the chain, wheel the bike forward a bit, spray again and repeat. There are little O-rings on each link that just going for a ride won't work the lube into, so it's good to spray the whole thing. Afterwards, either leave for a while to soak in / drip off, or you can wipe excess lube off with scot towels to reduce chain fling.

If your chain is particularly dirty looking you can degrease / kerosene it first, just be careful not to get this shit on your tyres and to wash it off with water, before putting the lube on.

You may notice it easier to wheel the bike after lubing; a good sign it was in need of one.

Is there a brand of chain lube that is the preferred lube in the bike world?

mate's brother who's a chauffeur, uses a 300c. once picked up/dropped off ice cube from the hotel to a gig and he complimented him on the car

/csb

Lol and ice cube starred in the kids movie 'are we there yet'

Yep a sell outs opinion is invalid lol

Any will do, as long as it says suitable for O ring chains...been using Shell's $10 chain lube for years. Recently bought Belring "chain wax" off eBay that's supposed to stick like shit to a shovel, people reckon it doesn't chain fling at all if you follow the instructions for applying.

Lol nah I Just hated them..

Nothing good came out of Chrysler

Eg crossfire, PR Cruiser, fkn Sebring

Yuck

personally I liked the Plymouth Prowler

just as it so different.

been picked up from airport in the last 300C hated it, shocking visibility, not much space in the back

G6E turbo was very nice.

Volvo V60 t5 was also very cool.

Your first world problems lol. I hate u a little

Birds

do it

Maybe...looks off the tap but read they are a bitch to install. Fk changing them back after getting defected...

What year CBR you be looking at?

Wtf is chain fling?

Lube that flings off from chain while riding. Gets on your wheels and rear fender. Much worse on cruisers, can end up on your back :/

When I was traveling lots for my old job my driver had a bmw 7 series, pretty comfy I sat in front and talked cars with the dude all the time - had a v8 but he never gave it the beans because the car was pretty f**ked (350,000 ks)

yo hamish, i want some good cock places to eat kgo

cockcraving needs to be satisfied

fyp

we got the car moving under its own power today... not without it pissing oil every where though....

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
