Great tips Nick. I especially like the idea of applying acf 50 with a brush. Much less wasteful.

[@peterkenworthy9219]

Passed my CBT the other day , absolutely brilliant day . It was on an auto but it was still fantastic . Picked up,my Honda CBF 125 today … practiced on my drive with the clutch just with gear one and so far so good ,, getting the feel and I’ll be out on the Road soon

[@nicksepisode]

Congratulations, exciting times 😁

[@mariocvetkovski8654]

Hi Nick. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your personal experience. Very helpful for novice riders. Keep up the good work as much as possible 👍

[@johnwilmott8063]

Thanks for all the comprehensive tips. I'm currently driving a Honda sh125, but considering the cb. It's been a lot of years since i adjusted a chain etc.

[@nicksepisode]

Thanks 💜

[@peterkenworthy9219]

Wow , didn’t realise you had to do all that .. very informative for sure .. can’t wait until Monday….. my first ever motorbike ride …

[@nicksepisode]

You don't have to but it does help, especially if you live in the UK and ride all year round. Good luck with your first ride. Welcome to the world of 2 wheels 😎

@@nicksepisode well I clean my car often and my bicycle too so this shouldn’t be a problem.. can’t decide which colour to buy . The red looks good . Then again the white too .

[@nicksepisode]

The white is gorgeous, and stands out on the road too

Good solid advice my friend - I’m a lover of mr sheen or pledge furniture polish when I clean my scooter

[@nicksepisode]

Thanks Thomas

Hi. Nick, i used to use acf50 and ride all year but v expensive. I now after the full clean apply gt85 everywhere(except brakes and tyres of course), wipe any excess and does same job but for much less. My bike 16yrs old and still almost as new

[@nicksepisode]

Thanks I have just run out so I will give thag a go !

[@joakimdam9723]

How often do you clean it in winter? And do you live in a area with lots of road salt?

[@volt8684]

@@joakimdam9723 I clean it once a week and no not really salty I suppose

[@joakimdam9723]

Thanks very much for the comprehensive video/s. So many useful tips and great advice all round 👍 .

You are very welcome Jon

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

Excellent winter preparation, thanks for the vid

[@joakimdam9723]

How often would you do this routine during winter commuting with lots of road salt? After a wash is the pretective routine wasted, and all 3 needs to reapplyed. Really afraid of winter riding in Denmark because of excessive salt use on roads

[@nicksepisode]

As often as you can, at least evey 2 3 weeks

[@joakimdam9723]

@@nicksepisode so you would wash it first with soap and then run this routine afterwards?

[@nicksepisode]

2nd 3rd routine don't was it

[@JDMz]

​@@joakimdam9723do not use soap. Use proper motorcycle cleaner. Then dry off thoroughly preferably with compressed air. Leaf blower on low setting. Or purchase a motorcycle blower. Then add acf50 or xcp rust blocker

Nick, you're more than welcome to detail my 2013 NC700X, if you want a challenge?

[@nicksepisode]

That would be cheating 😅

[@kalinca123]

well done, very in detail explained, Only a wee question. After the winter do you need to remove any grease? Do you cover the bike with a cover blank after this process?

[@nicksepisode]

After winter give it a good clean and no need to reapply until autumn. If stored in a garage use a blanket to cover too.

[@saintgeorge22]

Very informative video. Do you have any views on Muc-Off Motorcycle Protectant?

[@nicksepisode]

I have a tin of this to try out 😁

[@saintgeorge22]

@@nicksepisode Great. I will be interested to hear how you get on. As I'm new to bike maintenance I haven't used it myself, but thought that it looked like a decent all round option.

[@FarHanSolo]

Hi Nick, brilliant. I got myself a 2022 Honda Monkey in March 2022. I plan to do all this in the garage once the cans arrive in the post. As i aim to be a fairweather only biker, how frequently a year do you recommend I do this to the Monkey?

[@nicksepisode]

I really like the Monkey bike, I would love one for a bit of fun! I would say you only need to do this after every wash, if your bike dont see any rain then this will last a good 6 weeks - good luck and all the best

[@FarHanSolo]

@@nicksepisode ah nice one. What a lovely CB125F too

[@audiophilipp]

Is silicone spray good lubricant only or it protects ? Im thinking should i use wd40 as rust protect on front fork chrome or silicone spray

[@nicksepisode]

Wd40 is absolutely fine - silicone works same way, less mess

[@betweenframesproduction3968]

Great video. Whats the point of applying silicone spray on top of the acf50? Thanks

[@nicksepisode]

It sticks in areas that acf50 won't. It's a slight spray and makes a great addition to acf50. Although not necessary

[@betweenframesproduction3968]

@@nicksepisode Awesome. I Will do this. Although i Will be using xcp clear coat rust blocker because of its reviews. Thanks again!

[@amvj]

Which one is good to spray on engine and silencer - wd40 or silicone spray ? Engine and silencer are black painted (not chrome)

[@nicksepisode]

Silcone will be better

Morning Nick is this Auto or Manual honda CB125F. I want something to get confident and used to on the roads after my CBT before my full licence what you recommend mate.

Hi, it is manual, I would suggest this motorcycle 100 percent, its priced well and teaches you all the essential skills required to pass your full test. Good luck 👍

Hi Nick the honda CB125F don't have a windshield right is it OK to ride

[@nicksepisode]

The little windshield it has does an adequate job for the size of the bike, I haven't really noticed an issue but then I haven't rode it for long duration travelling 60mph.

[@megaady36]

Is there a reason you don't use ACF on the engine?

[@nicksepisode]

You can and I have before but it smokes a fair bit when the engine warms up

What’s a rear swing arm ?

The section that supports the rear wheel and connects it to the frame

Hi Nick, thank you for very informative video. I just bought muc-off motorcycle silicon shine, and it's says: do not use on hot parts. In the video, you are spraying at an engine part. Is that a problem? :)

[@nicksepisode]

Muc off silicone spray is the best! Spray when the engine is cold. I've been doing it years, never had any issues. Thanks for your kind words.
