    Well the plan was to go to my dads and get the bike ready for her MOT later this week but pops had unplugged the optimate and not disconnected the battery some weeks ago so hence a flat battery!
    So decided on just clean n lubing the chain for today and get the rest done next Monday shes been stood in his garage since October lathered in ACF50 so not looking her best.... chain 002.jpg

    Looking at that makes me feel guilty about not cleaning mine properly, what do you use on the chain to keep it so clean
