Black cat

Post by madthemad »

This is my first attemp at posting a picture. I haven't taken any of my black 12s yet so the only other black thing I've got is the cat.

Here goes...... by the way his name is Paddy Cat and he's a rescue cat. Although that's really rubbish as I've not seen him rescue anything except other cats dinners.

Blackal you are obviously not a cat type person.

The look on the Cats face is OK you have woken for what? if it's not food then you may go.

( I would have woken it by wafting a prawn in front of it - gets its attention every time :D )

Ok, here we go. How do I get rid of this fuzzy white stuff on the engine?
It happens each time I wash the bike with an appropriate bike cleaner.

Eeek! - that's CORROSION! :shock:

You can't get rid of it unless you take the bike back to the dealer and get them to replace the crankcase!

Two choices - don't get rid of the Aluminium Oxide (it protects the bare alumumium to a certain degree)

or - buff it off, clean with a suitable etcher - and repaint it.
