This is true, I have tried it! I have just started using WD40 on my chain and the first time I applied it a little over spray ended up on the rear disc. It doesn't take much oil to get rid of that pesky stopping feature. Don

Hello All, I was considering drilling holes in the butt plate of my klr's muffler as some members have done to either get rid of "Tweety" or to just give the bike a throatier sound (which would be my motive).My questions are relating to the spark arrestor,would doing this have a major impact on spark arresting? Is a spark arrestor mandatory off road (maybe just a North American thing)? If it's not a legal requirement is it something we should use voluntarily as good citizens?(I'm assuming forrest fires are the concern from a backfiring bike).Finally, do 4X4s comply with spark arresting?....Thanks..........cosmo(Hmmm is it red wine with the butt plate)?
