Just bought a bog standard Nc30 for a winter restoration project. But first id like to have sum fun on her showing up some of those new R1 etc.

Back to the thread after stripping her down i need to clean up the farme, swinging arm and all the genral components that have gathered 20 years of oil, road filth and corrosion. Looking for a degreaser that works well and wont effect the original coating on the frame and swinging arm.

cheers guys

goto your local pound shop or factory shop, and look for a product in a yellow bottle for about a quid a bottle called "elbow grease"
best bike cleaner i have ever used and doesn't leave marks or eat the bike

carb cleaner!

it will strip anything off anything! just dont get it on plastics, paint or powder coat!

Depends how bad, if it's quite bad I'd use Gunk or a similar de-greaser (not spray, out of a tin and brushed on using a piant brush to work inito the grease) to get the worst of the crap off then buff up with WD-40.
Parrafin brushed on and rinsed off is another option.
Get plenty of rag ready (old t-shirts etc) + Autosol for the ally bits
