Title: Time for a Spring Cleaning of my bike.
Post by: eprovenzano on February 23, 2018, 08:41:40 AM
My bike (01 KTM 380) doesn't need much heading into another season...  but it's time for a good spring cleaning.  I've pulled the seat, tank, all plastics, exhaust and am preparing for an extreme cleaning.  The engine cases are stained... so I'm going to attempt to clean the engine with some aluminium cleaner.   Any suggestions as to a cleaner, I've read about some good results with aluminium wheel cleaner and a lot of elbow grease.  I will also be cleaning the exhaust.  it to is dirt stained.

I'm not sure if I'll pull the motor or not.  I'll try with it in the frame 1st to see if I'm happy with the results. 

Of course after she's clean  I'll be going through all moving parts / bearing to ensure she's ready for another season.
