Re: Motorbike Servicing in Wootton Bassett
The argument is that the wd40 destroys O rings, the fact it would eat the grease isn't in question, of course it would, but a chain with good O rings wouldn't let wd40 past them to get at the grease anyway. The makers and plenty of people have tested this theory, and no it doesn't destroy seals, if anything it might swell them slightly, increasing the seal.
Re: Motorbike Servicing in Wootton Bassett
so there is a chance if the o-rings are no good that it would get past them?
either way i won't use it, i use rock oil on mine, do you use WD40 on yours?
Re: Motorbike Servicing in Wootton Bassett
It's to clean a chain, not lube it, i use wd40 wherever i need to get rid of grease, wheel rims, swingarm etc. If the O ring is cacked the grease is coming out anyway, that's the point, if your O rings are good, it's fine, if they are nacked it doesn't matter either way. Still you are not soaking the whole chain in a bucket of it, just spray on, brush off.
