Posted: 21:21 - 11 Nov 2018 Post subject: Dealing with a spot of rust |
|
|
Hi all, picked up an XR125 as a bit of a winter hack today and while it runs sweetly, it's a tad rustier than it looked in the photo's. Think it's all superficial but the swingarm is a bit more so. It will be treated to some ACF50 but in the first instance do I need to get in there with a wire brush, steel wool and some rust remover? Any advice welcome. Thanks, Dave

Looks like you’re going to have to start unbolting bits before you can get to the worst
I used a length of dowling with a small bit of Emery cloth/wet & dry on the end to get to the tight corners and those hard to get to places. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

You can either spend hours working on removing as much rust as possible and then painting the cleaned up metal.
Or you can cover it in ACF50 and then forget all about it as it gets hidden by a protective layer of road dirt /grime / filth. |
