Fuel blinking, far from home, stop by petronas, open flap n saw a tonne of white powder...same kind on older wet cell battery terminals...tough time putting in the key..once in couldnt turn....sigh.

Managed to open n fuel up after purchasing multi purpose cleaner.

Got home, picked up my wd40 n sprayed the fuck out of the key barrel..n more.of this shit came out...n i mean sprayed a tonne of wd40 til my rag was actually drenched yet this stupid powder still kept coming out. Spray sampai puas hati.

Leaving it to dry...gonna send to bike wash tomorrow if i have time....then more wd40...then let dry again...then only will put some lube into the barrel.

I really hate kawasaki key barrels...annoyingly the one exposed to crap the most, the one we rarely use, the seat key, is the one that never gives problems on both my bikes.

i have some similarish issue with my tank lock, first got it it was completely seized, this is a fairly new bike.

i see whitish gunk in there, if i spray wd40, it turned into gunk, clean all i want it keeps reappearing. seems like some kinda waxy substance yamaha put in there that dries out due to petrol vapors. so i just regularly dump in singer oil, its messy if i wash the bike but at least it doesnt get stuck. no idea how to cleanout all that stuff whatever it is.

Interesting.....this kinda reverses everything ive learned...hmm...including the smell... Both kerosene n turpuntine smells the same to me.though

Ill still stick to kerosene though as i clean it off before lubing...plus ive been using it for 8 years n ok so far...

But maybe ill look into diesel....

maybe in doing something wrong and making a huge mess, but diesel is very oily. the cleaning job after is... tedious

whats your milage?

myself quite very low milage one year maybe just over 1k?.
I rode in to a yamaha sc after 6 months bout 500km in, i was asked to go home, said 1 year is fine.
owners manual suggest 10k (never did mention a duration)

but when i approached an outside workshop, he said big bikes 3 bulan must change... i pun abit surprized.

Got a knockoff shifter support i figured its a bearing and a piece of metal might be worth a try... exact fit and the bearing seems to be of decent quality so cant complain too much about the quality.

As i was installing it, I checked if the shift shaft had much play as standard and didnt find any any play at all so im not sure if this actually does anything.

removed windshield and notice that, at 150+, steering feel lighter. Without windshield, had to use full face all the time.

I wonder how those ride with open face at high speed, on moped.
