I give mine a complete hand washing once a week and have noticed that my less then one month old bike is already starting to get a little rust around the exhaust ports. So far it just washes away every time but i just dont want it to get worse. Just wondering if there is some great product out there that i am missing.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103629 StarCruiser06 (User) If you can't be with the one you love... Wait! Gold Boarder Posts: 712 Re:Preventing rust. 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   On some places you can prevent those anoying rust spots from cropping up... But, around the exhaust ports... you're at the mercy of the elements! Knocking down and removing rust on chrome involves using "0000" steel wool and plenty of quality wax... (Yeah, put the wax on the steel wool just like a polishing rag... But only on chrome!) As far as rust inside the allen screw holes... Get some screw head covers... For little spots that build up around the gas filler... I use motor oil on a rag to clean the surface and leave a coating... Most of all remember what Neil Young said... "Rust never sleeps!"   Logged     Over 50...? Never miss the oppertunity to pee, never waste an erection... And never, ever, trust a fart!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103660 roadhog1 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 208 Re:Preventing rust. 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   I have only washed my bike once in two years. I never let it get too dirty. I use the spray cleaner & polish from yamaha. It foams up the dirt and wipe it off with a cloth and leaves a waxed surface when polished. About 7 bucks a can. Well worth it,no rust yet. roadhog1   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
