Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Should I scrub my O / X / Z-Ring chain?

2011-04-26 Thread Allen Thomas
Personally I clean my chain with kerosene and a tooth brush every 3K miles or so to get the old grime off. I have read that WD40 is bad though because it acts as a penetrant and goes past the o-rings to dissolve the grease inside the chain. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -Original Message-

There's the fine line there. When I did repair work it drove me nuts when ppl would call wanting to know "how much longer" because answering those calls slowed me down from performing the repairs. At the same time you should call and update your customers if it's taking longer than a day or so. It
