I've even cleaned the rear wheel by running the engine in gear on it, with no "Oh, cr*p!" moments!
Has anyone ever told you that you might be running a few bricks shy of a load?
Your either the luckiest guy alive,completely nuts or maybe both to try that trick.
Just the idea of starting it up on the jack spooks me a bit.
Doing it without strappingthe bike down, REALLY tightwould no doubt give me the fatal heart attack I have so far managed to avoid.
I refuse to even think aboutcleaning wheels by using the engine to spin them.










[sm=joke.gif]But seriously that idea of cleaning wheels does not sound very safe. One wrong move and there are way too many pieces of metal moving around there for my likeing.
