FZ6 / Fazer / Corrosion

OK I admit it I put the bike away wet and dirty and it seems after some salt went down

I have given it a good clean and the brake discs are coming back with use and the chain is well oiled but I have what looks like white chicken pox spots on various parts of the bike which seem stubborn- banjo's on the brake lines etc

What gets white chicken pox off Yamaha metal?  :rolleyes

Even the exhaust downpipes and CAT (FZ6S2) are rusty- ...... oh my!  :o

General / Chain oil

OK I admit it = last time I went out in rain (not salt you understand) I put the Fazer away dirty and wet  :o

I have always used oily type chain oil and whinged about the spray over the back of the bike so when someone recommended some non splash white greasy type stuff I jumped at the chance.

I have never had rust problems on my chain with oily chain lube and always put too much on but this stuff seemjed to coat the rollers and sideplates quite nicely.... until I got the baby out yesterday before riding today and found thje rollers and sideplates all rusty.  :'(

I dont think I have any tight spots on the chain so maybe it is only surface but after a 20 mile ride today the rollers are still dull and rusty after a good coating of the oily stuff last night

Have I ruined my chain?

If you have never been on a track this is the opportunity for a taster.... plus Bikesafe for £30

General / Ride- Rider Power Fazers

OK so obviously the litre Fazers got better marks that the 600- I say obviously but more people seem to own them than 600's and it has more useable power but in the survey.........
Owners
30% FZS6
17% FZ6S
37% FZS1000
16% FZ1

97% male/3% female owners Average 9124 miles per year

But the thing that interested me (as an FZ6S2 owner and having all the -hopefully good nautured ribbing from those with box eyes) was that we scored the FZ6S slightly higher than the FZS6  :b

I suppose the boxeyes will say that their bikes are older and so more troublesome but isnt that the point? Time to change up!

Anyway- 52% of Fazer owners said the Fazer is the best bike they have ever owned so I guess it doesnt matter which one you have as long as you are happy with it.

Mine did 120 miles half in torrential downpour and half in sunshine today- didnt miss a beat and I still ended the ride with a slightly bedraggled and soggy smile- just need to clean and dry the kit and then the bike before another run out on Friday with friends
