Hi guys,
After leaving the bike exposed a little bit too much last winter I have now almost each and every bolt rusty. The front cover has alittle bit of it as well as the engine paint flaking but I know this is fixed by sanding and repainting, but what about the bolts? I have used ACF50 profusely and it has stopped the process, but now I want to get it all cleaned up.
The bolts holding the disc brakes (front and rear), the 4 ones on the handlebar, the tubular axle holding the front wheel, or the bolts holding the break calippers... all are affected.
I thought about 2 options:
1. Replace with new ones, but I heard inox is a no go as it might accelerate aluminium corrosion through electrolysis - any ideas for that?
2. Take apart, sand, clean, and put back with a layer or wax or similar.
What do you think?
Thanks!
