Hi fellow Fab Bikers.
Prepping the bike (z1000sx) to get back using as my commuter. Bike been stored in garage but sadly have found some surface rust on some of the metal clips and few other bits. Nothing structural etc.
Any suggestions on how to remove? |

I'm a car guy, but I used to soak parts in coca cola and rub them with aluminium foil to remove surface rust.
I'm sure there's some more chemical engineering minded folks on here who have a better suggestion, but it worked for me. |

as said Tim foil. or a scotch bright pad,
12 quid for a can of bulldog bdx it a penetrative oil designed for the off shore industry ...that will displace the rust with adjitarion and its leaves a protective coating on the metal..
little goes a long way with that stuff... and it beats most other things for ceased up bolts ..exhaust studs on headers etc ect |
