Never lubed my chain...how often should it be done?

500km is a good interval I think.

I wash my bike frequently so I clean and lube it after every couple of washes.

Some people put a little lube on before each ride. Besides the chain fling, I can't see the harm in doing this.

Fair call, they were always about the look rather than the drive lol. Hopefully new one is a better drive.

Yeh don't get me wrong they looked great but simple things like the seatbelt holder would constantly fall through the seats. Door jams wouldnt line up. Knocking and creaking sounds all over the joint uneven stitching in the interior I could keep going...

Even flat spots in acceleration. Man dissapointed in that car to the max.

The new one should be an improvement as anything would be an improvement

Too scared to wash my bike

Last time I washed it didn't start for days

f**k that shit lol

Just clean the fairings, that's all you really need to make it look clean.

Or get a newer model :P I pretty well flood my bike with water and leave it for a couple of hours to dry; starts first time everytime!

It's very highly rated from watching reviews on YouTube from USA. Never know though until ya get in one for yourself though

I guarantee the car will be completely different from USA to aus.. Firstly the tune will be different for the different emissions. Secondly a completely different interior. I wouldnt base assumptions on what's overseas.

Better get on it then, think I've done around 2000kms since I bought it. I could walk 10 meters and go check but I won't.

I've only washed it 3 times since I bought it too.. but I don't ride in the rain so it stays pretty clean anyway.

How do you do the chain? just spray it on wherever the chain is exposed and go for a ride or?

Best way is to have the bike on a stand, and spin the rear tire while constantly spraying on a sprocket (front or rear)

The other 'lazy' way which is what I usually do is just spray it where you can, move it forward a bit - spray a bit more and then go for a ride.

Less gangster more conservative which I think is better the interior is impressive from what I've seen, Unfortunatly Leigh ford interior is like one specification for 60k+ doesn't cut it imo

Chrysler/jeep under fiat are killing it grand Cherokee got car of the year i think?

While I agree it's not the best, when you get it optioned up (leather, colour screen, premo sound etc.) it improves the quality quite a bit.

Can't argue with ~400rwkw with a tune though :P

SRT looks pretty gangster though :

17l / 100 k's in city apparently

Definitely get on it. It's mostly about lengthening the life of your chain and sprockets (and not having it overheat and snap on you), but it does make the bike ride quieter and smoother to ride too.

I usually spray it on the exposed part of the chain, wheel the bike forward a bit, spray again and repeat. There are little O-rings on each link that just going for a ride won't work the lube into, so it's good to spray the whole thing. Afterwards, either leave for a while to soak in / drip off, or you can wipe excess lube off with scot towels to reduce chain fling.

If your chain is particularly dirty looking you can degrease / kerosene it first, just be careful not to get this shit on your tyres and to wash it off with water, before putting the lube on.

You may notice it easier to wheel the bike after lubing; a good sign it was in need of one.

It's all same spec brah it's the 3.6ltr pentaster which is in the jeeps with a zf 8 speed interior specs are unchanged just model names are slightly different. Aus spec is slightly more inclusions I think as standard

It's same as e class merc chassis Or very similar I read same as jeep is ml chassis

And agree Leigh motor in ford is un matched

Depends what you want really, that extra speed / supercharger sound or better interior - both cars look great the SRT obviously a bit rarer but that's not always a good thing either.

Just test drive them all

The old ones are the same as the e class but since Daimler ditched em I don't think they'll be using the same chassis. Not sure though..

I'll be interested in a test drive though to see the difference. I really fkn hated the old 300c

i usually just wipe it down without using water don't think i can make it any cleaner than it is now anyway

lol yeah it's old i've put it up for sale most likely going cbr600rr once/if it's sold

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
