Hi Noggy and Steve,
Thanks for the fast replies.
I'll have a go with those forks tomorrow because I have an "FF" day as they say in Sweden (FF = Frufri = Wife Free)
I'll try Scotchbrite and the Autosol and post the results (in the FZS600 section) if it's successful. Otherwise I might have to resort to more chemically hazardous methods.
Just to clarify... It was the XT that got a winter beating, but I managed to keep on top of it all the same. I basically coated everything with WD40 (except the brakes of course!) and rode it through the winter like that. Worked quite well... the chrome polished up nicely afterwards! I was a little sad to see it go but found myself doing less and less offroad riding and more commuting, so the Fazer makes more sense, and is really fun too!
Thanks again,
James
