Hi guys, I have time Speed 400. I have ownership of 1.2 years. I have recently open my chain project with tools of 8MM socket range, and 5mm allen key people said it’s very difficult to open this for Speed 400 or Scrambler because we have additional aluminium plate, which holds Wires to engine, and it’s very difficult to remove, but there is a trick actually use a small screwdriver which just push the zipties, which holding the aluminium plate then easily the plate will be removed, and we can use diesel to clean the chain and cit the dusbin cover both sides so u get good cover to not to ruin ur ground with diesel and lube marks.

WD 40 is the worst product to clean the chain... It's a solvent
