Rusty bits how do I get rid of them? + rear brake

[rac3r]

Gave the bike a clean today for the first time and come a across some bits that need doing, rust and muck but i'm not too sure how to get rid of it?

Also my rear brake squeaks when i'm pushing the bike around. Any ideas why?

Here's some pictures of the problem areas:

try a wire brush for the harder bits of rust

and wire wool.

for rear brake, maybe the pads are worn out, or its sticking?

try taking the pad out, put copper grease on the back of it and put it back in. or new ones

The swept area on your rear disc doesn't look too clever,i would take the pads out and have a look.

Indeed, something is really not right with your rear brake.

As for the rust, wire wool and autosol on the metal bits.
As for the chromed bits, Im not sure what`ll get rid of it without damaging the chrome.

Pads fubared, maybe disc as well looking at that!

As said above the chrome bits need rubbing down to bare metal and re chroming or painting.

How much will it cost to get the rear brake set right again? I don't want to spend too much as I was looking to get the bike sold soon.

Its possible to restore that. Stainless steel bolts, Scotchbrite, and respraying the brake pedal. Heres one I did earlier Thats a 1998 CBR

I can't believe how rusty it is for relatively new bike,what are Honda up to?

[Reppyboyo]

My old Honda CBR125 from years ago rusted very similar to that.
The bike is made of bargain bin parts tbh.

andi: That looks amazing considering how old the bike is puts mine to shame

I think i'll put the polishing on hold until this stupid brake is sorted. I'm not sure what to do, should I DIY it or take it to the mechanic OR sell it as it is and keep quiet

Someone will spot that easily.
Fix it yourself.
