after a lot of winter riding in the snow, then a lot of mud / water riding the past month or so i'm wonder is there anything i should oil / grease up? maybe wd40 my chain?

also wondering is there a special tool to tighten the rear shock or can i use a monkey wrench? i ended up taking off my mud flaps as they keep getting sucked into my tires

change your oil, grease all bearings, if you have an o-ring chain i wouldn't use wd-40 just chain oil wd-40 tends to eat away at the seals then you have a stretched chain at least in my experience.

I have never had any problems with WD-40 on my oring chains...just spray it on and wipe it off, mostly used to clean the chain not lube it as the orings hold grease in. Clean air filter, change oil, wash the whole thing down nice and good. And personally I spray my entire bike with WD40 once I get it all cleaned up.

got a brand new uni air filter /air filter oil and changed the oil about 2 weeks ago, is there a certain type of grease to use?
