    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Frame and engine cleanup

I have the gas tank, seat, carbs and airbox off my bike right now, so this would be an excellent time to cleanup the frame and engine since they are well exposed. What would be the best cleaner/spray to do the job? (i.e. brand name and product) I would like something I could just spray and hose off without scrubbing since some of the places would be hard to get at to scrub. The frame is very dirty from 27 years of buildup! Thanks, Richard

I have been told countless times by seasoned bikers,"Honda Polish... Honda Polish... Honda Polish" yes repeated three times. Its good on all surfaces and removes some of the crustiest stuff.
 
Re: Frame and engine cleanup

I know of nothing that will clean your bike for you as you watch. :-)
Sometimes, the only way is soap and water and a brush/rag.

Good old Simple Green works well. For a degreaser I like STP Brake Parts Cleaner. It's cheap ($1.49) and works well.
 
Eating seals

Eating seals

I have always been afraid to use things like brake parts cleaner for fear of it eating away engine seals. Seems like every time I try a product like that I have leak, of course maybe it is that I just freed some dirt that was blocking an existing leak. Anybody got any comments on this?
 
Hondabrite works really well also. You spray it on, let it sit, then rinse it off. I really like the stuff.
