Re: Advise please
For two months.......I wouldnt worry about doing much.
If you have an optimate, then wack it on the bike.......if not dont bother.

Re: Advise please
For two months, just leave it on an Optimate and especially if you have an alarm. As for the chain, give it a good lube with oil, that will help preserve it better than chain lube.

Optimate is a good idea - if the chain is going rusty, either spray it with some good chain lube as this is formulated to prevent corrosion as one of it's main purposes, or wipe it with some ACF50 or some such. Spokey |
