Greasy banshee help

[Eqbanshee]

My swingarm had like greasy dirt every wear which is impossible to get off the only way I succeeded was scrubbing which is very hard and took a very long time?

Bummer, this is why I will never buy a dirty bike and when people ask me to work on their banshees I charge extra to deal with filth.

 

Honestly, I usually get by with an electric power washer and at the worst some simple green.

 

For crazy tough shit, try renting an actual steam wand and mega jugs of simple green or even a caustic hazardous industrial grade cleaner. Check labels and know what you're using is fine for plastic and aluminum.

Nice shee man

i agree its pretty clean, chain lube is nasty shit and will keep dirtying up the situation, take it off and completely clean it or get a new quality o-ring chain and wd40 it every couple of rides...or every ride (rides not trips)

 

i never really thought much of it until i recently saw mx guys doing it 

 

chainlube is better i suppose but if you must have a surgically clean swingarm

Thanks! I got smoked by a all stock yfz today!? I gotta do something about that!

I have found that wd-40 and a scrub brush works pretty damn good at removing chain lube.

Make sure it's not your carrier bearings blowing apart. The bearing will leak grease and the metal will etch in to what ever it gets on
