After Competition Maintenance
It is important to the long term performance of
your CR to practice a consistent maintenance
program. Right after the event is a good time to
begin your next maintenance cycle.
After Race Lubrication
Apply a light coating of rust-inhibiting oil to the
drive sprocket and any steel portions of the
chassis or engine where the paint has worn away.
This will prevent rusting of the exposed metal.
Apply rust-inhibiting oil more heavily if the
event was particularly wet or muddy. Take care
to avoid spraying any oil near the brake pads or
the brake discs.
Remove the drive chain, clean and lubricate it
(page 73). Be sure the chain is wiped clean and
is dry before lubricating the chain.
Take care to prevent catching your fingers
between the chain and sprockets.
Routine Cleaning
If your CR is only slightly dirty, it is best to clean
it by hand with the aid of a stiff bristled nylon
brush and some clean rags.
Take care to prevent catching your fingers
between the chain and sprockets.
A variety of reasonably priced cleaning brushes
are available from variety, drug, food, and
hardware stores. Some of these brushes are
extremely useful in removing dirt from the many
tight contours of the metal pieces of your
CR. Avoid using stiff, abrasive brushes on the
plastic or rubber parts.
If your CR was exposed to sea air or salt water,
rinse it as soon as possible after the event, dry it,
and apply a spray lubricant to all metal parts.
If you decide to wash your CR or use cleaners,
refer to
Appearance Care
(page 78).
