Right... I'm accepting this corrosion challenge.
I've just received a brand new 2017 GSA. Mint condition.
It'll be used all year round by me and I'll be hand washing it as I do with all my bikes.
Water hose pipe, no jet washing. Car wash and wax on paintwork, ACF50 on bolt heads.
Usually hand washed after every ride, but never left more than a week without being cleaned after a ride.
Its stored in an integral garage to the house but its not heated or climate controlled, but has reasonable ventilation.
Bike is based in West Midland UK, and all the variable temps and weather conditions that brings.
Its got rear mudsling, front fender extender, X-Head engine guards and thats it.
I'll report back on here the second I start seeing rust or corrosion or anything outstandingly negative.
So far its 6 weeks old, 2000 miles up (and currently on 4 day road tour). All good.
