For the tires: Home heating oil on a rag and just wipe them down. Also a "used car" trick but works good. No safety issues and before it's said , it takes a lot to ignite heating oil.

 

I'm sorry, but you don't want to put any kind of "oil" on your tires.

 

Use on sidewalls and dries up with a rag. Been doing it for a long as I can remember without any problems. Your choice , just saying. I was a mechanic for 40+ years and did this.

 

I use simple green. Between washes I mist a some simple green on the tires, scrub them down with a brush and wash them down with a qrt. garden sprayer towel dry and black tires is the product. 10min tops.

 

I use simple green as well, in fact when I wash, I use it on my chrome then Polish with a chrome polish. It leaves my Scoot Lookin Rannnddyyyy.

 

Man........... is cleaning tires taking things a bit far or is it just me?

 

I'd be affraid of the wax build-up I just remember my moms back in the day using wax stripper and spending the day on that!

 

HEHE! Any chance I get I am on that bike. I have only had the bike for a year and when I'm not riding I'm on here or figuring out where I can get my next mile. I must be honest though mostly back and forth to work and then back in the shop out of the sun untill the next ride.
I freakin love this bike. when I first purchased it I thought I was making an impulse purchase as I was going to have to wait for a night train and this one was on the floor screaming my name ( then I had to wait on another one because that one was sold).

 

You can use Pledge on your glasses too. It fills fine scratches and makes the lenses look like new.

 

Can you see better???????????????????
