Women eh? Wouldn't you think life was too short to worry about towels smelling of wd40 or favourite mugs stinking of petrol?

Who can figure them out?

If they might possibly notice the patch of burnt grass where you disposed of the towel, acquire a plane and a large bomb, take off and nuke the entire area from a great height.

Belt and braces approach to removing a tank pad.

Hold on one second, that installation has a substantial dollar value attached!

Yes, but I do believe Corporal Hicks is in charge.

Will WD40 also be ok to use on a screen even though it is plastic?

I've got some nasty residues from trackday stickers there.

WD-40 is good for everything except brakes and tyres, as for tank pads i just pulled mine off no problems.

Will give it a go after the Moto GP, and finally silicon grease up my front plug.

Yep the WD-40 (or Tesco's Maintenance spray, it looks, smells and tastes the same) worked a treat on the screen. Couldn't be bothered doing the silicon grease as would mean easing the fairing sidepanels away and hinging the fron Rad, that can wait for another day.

Amen, my missus even got upset when I tried to clean my earplugs in the dishwasher.
