Are the instruments correct for the model? they look to plastic in body and lens.

I used a flapper disk on the angle grinder and lightly passed it over mine, it took all the crud off and left no scoring.
Lightly being the key word here.

Never had a bad bike just bad taste, try a Russian Jupiter 350 two stroke built like a tank and weighed as much compared to the jap stuff. Many encounters with solid stuff that came off second best to the rugged Russian and gave me a good grounding on motorcycle maintenance and riding before graduation to cb500/4 in 76. That’s when the real enjoyment started on the 2 wheel stead’s.

Hi, I recently had to work on my van engine and 140k of oil leak and grime to get through, happened along an article (don’t know where) about Cif perfect finish oven&grill 100% tough grease removal, followed instructions and boy did it do the job. Having said that it is a cast iron block so I don’t know how it will react on alloy it’s only a couple of pounds and you could do a test section. It might also take the paint off the engine, it saved me hours with the pressure washer and gets into all the nocks and crannys.

I’m a very vulnerable person (transplant and cancer) and was going to crack a ride out tomorrow. I won’t be stopping from start to finish so can’t see the harm,

I spent mths with the iwon’t a media blaster, did all the research only to find out the size of the compressor needed would have to be on an industrial scale, 200/250 ltr just don’t cut it apparently.
