Wd-40

WD-40

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient
of WD-40 is? Don't lie and don't cheat.

Who knew; I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early
one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around
the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over,
woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying
to figure out what to do.... probably nothing until Monday morning,
since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get
his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully
and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed!

WD-40 - who knew? 'Water Displacement #40'. The product began from a
search for a rust preventative solvent and de-greaser to protect missile
parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego
Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to
find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the
fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk
to protect their Atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original
founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you... When you
read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever
cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as
well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top ... Viola!
It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

grills and bumpers.'
38. The favorite use in the state of New York: WD-40 protects the
Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than
the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in
mind though, using some chemical-laced baits or lures for fishing are
not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire-ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark
and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed
and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the
lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start.

Is it legal?

I thought it was not legal to have your number on the windscreen, remember Whizzkid ( Ram ) telling me that he was finned for that please provide some info

Atleast in Chennai, YES, legal. See this - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/pit-stop...look-like.html

Oh!!! don't take his words seriously

Thanks for the info Sir so the Ninja can be made to look more hotter without the ugly number plate

LoL

just a quick query!!

where do the Ninja owners from Delhi, prefer getting their Ninja serviced and which one is a better service station in Delhi.

Received my Xena XZN8 - possibly damaged.

I ordered the disk lock alarm (Xena XZN8 on eBay) from MSG Bike Gear and it was shipped to me today.

I just wanted to ask other users of the same lock, if:

• Pushing in the lock, arms it, I get the arming beep.
• After that, I tested the lock by shaking it. I got another similar beep, and then a very small beep at a higher pitch.
• The alarm never sounded even after shaking the lock more vigorously.
  
  (The lock was armed and on the bike's disk during the testing.)
  

I wanted to know if the other Xena users have faced this, or if the two beeps mean something else (battery low, lock detecting that the shaking isn't vigorous enough)

I'm quite disappointed at having spent 3200 bucks on a damaged lock, if it does turn out to be damaged.

Would be really helpful if anyone can clarify.

Bluevolt had some problems on his Xena XN series lock. The alarm would not work at times and sounded like it had a sore throat. It used to just die in the middle of its beeps.

However, I have been using the XX-6 for almost 1.5 yrs and it is still on the same battery (although they say it lasts only 8 months) and works just fine.

I see your location is updated as Blore. If we can meet up sometime, i can take a look and see if its a defect or something else. There is hardly any tech stuff in this lock so its not a worrying issue

See the xena alarm lock videos on youtube. the lock arms itself with a long single beep when it is locked onto the brake rotor. if there is movement, there are 4 warning chirps and then the alarm, a high pitched sound goes off. the alarm sound turns off on its own after a few secs but the alarm function still stays armed. If you are shaking the lock without placing it on the rotor and no sound is coming, its not a problem with the lock.

Ninja mine!

Hello folks.

Got my Ninja (black) today. Rode her through the crowded city streets of Chennai to bring her home. All my remaining apprehensions were put to rest. She is a wonderful bike to ride even in city conditions. No knocking. No false neutral. Pulls cleanly from 20 from the higher gears (I think 4th). For someone riding a bike after 6 years of switching to cars - and a sports bike at that - it was quite simply brilliant! Nice experience at Bajaj Probiking!

Thanks to everyone on this forum for all your inputs - it made my decision to go with a Ninja a no brainer and helped me make the right choices with my gear and other stuff as well.

Cheers

^^ Congratz dude.. and Welcome to the Ninjette club . BTW it is the Best Commuter, 250 cc bike, quarter litre track tool in india. So you can be proud

Congrats...! btw are there no black puigs available... everywhere I see the black ninjas are stuck with green puigs!

Thanks for the prompt reply man! We definitely should meet up sometime soon. I'm going to warn you though - I'm still running in the bike with around 146 kms to go to 800, and I'm awfully slow :-P

That is just my salute to the original Ninja color, without drawing too much attention to myself! The tank pads and rim stripes are also green (being shipped!)

Congrats! Have been riding my Ninja for 650 kms now, and have loved every bit of it. Take good care of the bike and she'll reward you just the same.

The lock in question and my initial defective lock seem to have the same alarm unit, so I would not be surprised if it is defective.

However, I switched to a XX-6 (same as Aditya) soon after and I had no problems after that.

It seems the basic Xena lock with the plastic lock unit on the outside are the ones to avoid. I hope in your case, it might be something else which can be fixed!

That brings me to another important question: has anyone ever heard of an expensive motorcycle like the Ninja being stolen? Most of my friends seem to advise me otherwise - that such bikes rarey get stolen because of how noticeable they are on the streets. True?
