I bought a CRF-150f at the same time, which is outside 24/7 and only an ATV tarp thrown over it. I washed it for the 1st time this weekend and it looks great, 5 years newer then the CB now! I've always been a huge Honda dirtbike fan, this is only my 3rd Honda streetbike. I expected better and this really caught me off gaurd.
The marks on the motor are exposed aluminum now and would have to be repainted or something? Sad really, half way through my 1st winter?
With the damage done, I'm switching to damage control mode. She will be staying inside and dry from now on. I'm getting one of those blow dryer, blaster things for after washing and caught in the rain rides.
Also I don't really store the bike away for the winter, it's been out at least every other week so far.
Hi all, The very best stuff you can use is ACF-50. Wash and dry the bike, take a can of ACF-50 stand it in a pan of hot water taking out to shake now and again, (you may not need to do this in warmer climates) Once the can is warm in the hand spray allover the bike, i have been using this for years in the UK. Spray just befor winter clean off in the spring. I hope you find this helps you. Please Google ACF-50. nigel.
