With lubing your chain, and just to add to what you said, if you're unsure how much to use it's better to use more than you need, and wipe off the excess. If you don't use enough, you can risk chain failure, and at speed that will hurt. In time you'll get to know how much you need, and won't even need to remove any excess. Also, is that an XW/XY I spotted hiding under the cover next to your bench?
@@sergeantwombat That would be cool to see, especially being in the family from new. I'm not sure where in Vic you are, but when it comes to the engine, I'd suggest Dandy Engines in Carrum Downs. They've built everything from restored factory engines, to two 6 second, 200MPH XW's, one of which is still street registered.
@@sergeantwombat that's even rarer. I don't remember the last time, other than a Barra turbo conversion, that I've seen an original 6 pot XY here in Sydney, and I've been a volunteer at Sydney Dragway for the last 10.5 years. It's good that it gets started regularly too. Means it can't be too unhealthy.

Certainly is an XY, Dad's family bought it new and it now is my fathers. The Resto is planned to start sometime next year! I may have to film parts

Well the og 6 banger still sits and works and gets turned on every other week, but having it looked at cant hurt

@@Whiskers74 It was dads daily driver until 2 overseas students decided a yellow light means stop whilst in the middle of the intersection lol
What stand is it and where did you buy it? Ive been looking for one for my rebel and can’t find one that’ll fit.
Should be this one www.amxsuperstores.com.au/products/oxford-big-black-bike-rear-paddock-stand
How often should we be doing this, kind sir? (newbie here)
I am cleaning and lubing the chain every 1000 km (or after any ride where the road was dirty or wet). Hope this helps. :)

@@Yamahoyami cheers mate, two bros comp s for the pipe!
Was it safe for O-Ring chains
That it is! I checked haha
@@sergeantwombat the reason I ask is I didn’t and I had to replace it
@@MurffSurff that's unfortunate
Just material? Not after you see how much it costs to replace it. Damn, those things can get expensive.
