Formulation WD-40's formula is a trade secret. The product is not patented in order to avoid completely disclosing its ingredients.[2] WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are: 50%: Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits -- primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene) 25%: Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability) 15+%: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil) 10-%: Inert ingredients The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety-relevant ingredients: 60-80%: Heavy Naphtha (petroleum product), hydrogen treated 1-5%: Carbon dioxide It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses should be used. Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40. There is a popular urban legend that the key ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.[3] However, the WD-40 web site states that it is a petroleum based product [4]

I think the brand of plug is also a big factor. A friend of mine who is a TECH TIRE rep had 250 in the side wall of his front tire, which he used to demo the plug installations. He wore the tires out without a single failure. However I have used some brands that I would never touch again with a ten foot pole.

I know its not a big secret, and many here know about it but for those that did not know this simple trick, I thought it would be useful info to post, or repost whatever the case may be, since the issue of wet ignitions has come up again.

I am not even American, and it makes my blood boil to hear stuff like this. Why is it the disrespectfull and trouble making fanatics always seem to win out?????:bang head: Political correctness is like picking up bodily waste, and not being allowed to say YUCK

Next time your bike wont start or run right because of wet weather or washing, try spraying the entire ignition system including the plug wires with a heavy wet dose of WD40 or other quality penetrating oil. It will flush the moisture away and 9 times out of ten the bike will run normal. 2nd point if it works it is a good indicator that some part of your ignition needs replacing.

MMMM Sounds to me like an excuse for more demonstrating

Personally I think the above statemant was a little harsh. No one knows everything and one of the purposes of this site is to share information and educate each other. The question was a valid question from a member, looking for answers and opinions. What was wrong with that. Regarding these lights I do believe its a bit of a catch 22. Yes they make you more noticable and save your hide every now and then, and we are all in favour of keeping our hides. Yet at the same time I have been in group rides were I have found the flickering of these lights in my rear view very distracting, and can well imagine some one in a cage being distracted to the point of of not paying attention to what is in front of him, which could easily be another motorcycle. Just saying. As far as my own opinion goes, I am still sitting on the fence on this one.

Nope!! Big Tom is pretty much of a stickler about having national icecream day only once a year. Such a stickler as a matter of fact that he spends every day until then practicing his ice cream eating technique, just so he is in good form for the big event.:banana::banana:

Even better store it in the fridge.

Spark plug wires can also be an issue. try firing it up at night or in a dark location and with a spray bottle, spray the plug wires. look for electrical arcing or as we sometimes call it christmas lights. If no arcing is visible, wires are ok, if visible arcing is seen anywere along plug wires or boots replace them.

It does not work that way. Regardless of wether you struck the vehicle or not . Wether there were witnesses or not. All the drive has to say is. Gee I didn't even see him , and he is off the hook.

You can't possibly be talkin the same trouble making Margret the rest of us know . All the more reason in my mind for the Muffinman to get back and excert some control.

Sometimes that can be caused by metalic or ceramic linings. Both CRC and PERMATEX make a product called disc brake quiet (I prefer the paste version over the spray). Remove the pads and coat the back side of the pads. allow time for the product to get semi dry or tacky and then reinstal the pads. I use it on almost every brake job I do from motorcycles to heavy trucks.

You sure you phrased that right. And how do get with and wife in the same sentance as talking

I run a program called pest patrol. The first time I ran it it dug up and trashed 256 trojans, and malware. Since then I have never had one turn up. It is available as a free down load. I also run my computer with user rights using the admin only when needed and using a limited user the rest of the time. This way if you accidently down load something that wants to install itself it can't because of lack of rights.

Sorry to hear about your helmit (assuming thats what really happened and you weren't just giving Bernie an excuse so you could buy that new one you were looking at) Glad you made the trip Ok though and don't forget to take notes cause I will be picking your brain for when I go in Aug.

This is what I used to completly rebuild all the smashed plastic on my bike after my accident in 2008. I even made one good panel out of two bad ones with it, and reassembled pieces like a jigsaw puzzel. http://plastex.net/ use fiberglass cloth to reinforce on the inside. You also do not need to use spot filler because this stuff does it all it will sand as smooth as the original. P/S don't worry about praportions the stuff is idiot proof, and if you fold a piece of cellephane tape over your finger it smooths out real nice.
