How do you find the clutch biting point?

Cluth bite is about 1/3 up from the floor of the full travel of the pedal and is the same in every gear. To find the bite point, with hand/emergency brake on, depress the pedal fully, put the vehicle in gear and set the gas to about 1000 - 1100 rpm. Raise the clutch pedal until the bonnet/hood (forward gear) starts to rise and the revs start to dip. That is the bite point.

Alternatively, go to FLAT area and RELEASE all brakes (hand/e-brake and foot brake) and make sure your car does not roll. Depress the clutch petal all the way and put it into first gear. SLOWLY start to raise the clutch off the floor (do this very very slowly). and once it starts to roll, that is your biting point. You should do it a couple times just to make sure.

How do you Clean chain for Honda 2005 CBR 600RR?

You more than likely have an o-ring chain that requires little maintenance Cleaning it if you need to should be done with a stiff brush and soap and water preferably while on the bike and not dipping or submerging it off the bike. It should never be puposely submerged for long periods. If it just has light grease or oil on the outer links that you want to eliminate I would take a rag soaked in a solvent and in a well ventilated area and propping the rear wheel of the ground rotate the wheel while cleaning the chain and sprocket with the rag. Finish by using a spray-on lube designed for o-ring chains that has a high tack formula so it doesn't fling off while riding at speed. Be sure to adequately lube the rollers and the inner side of the links where the rubber o-rings are to condition them...they hold and seal in grease inside the roller links which preserve the chains high wear characteristics...the secret of modern chains high longivity. That's it. Re-lube when you notice the rollers beginning to look dry and adjust chain to the recommended up and down slack between the sprockets when it needs it. Happy ridin.
