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.

Haven't got one of those fancy stands, so I'll have to go with the wheel forward method...

Those stands, I'm guessing you need the bits that bolt on to the bike that the stand lifts it up on? What are they called and are they seperate or you get em with the stand?

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.

Is there a brand of chain lube that is the preferred lube in the bike world?

Any will do, as long as it says suitable for O ring chains...been using Shell's $10 chain lube for years. Recently bought Belring "chain wax" off eBay that's supposed to stick like shit to a shovel, people reckon it doesn't chain fling at all if you follow the instructions for applying.

Birds

do it

Maybe...looks off the tap but read they are a bitch to install. Fk changing them back after getting defected...

What year CBR you be looking at?

Wtf is chain fling?

Lube that flings off from chain while riding. Gets on your wheels and rear fender. Much worse on cruisers, can end up on your back :/

When I was traveling lots for my old job my driver had a bmw 7 series, pretty comfy I sat in front and talked cars with the dude all the time - had a v8 but he never gave it the beans because the car was pretty f**ked (350,000 ks)

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
