Hi Guys, I'm New

#1 Unread post by Wolfzx12r »

I'm Baz from the UK "it's cold and damp".
I ride a 01 Kawasaki Zx12r "full power"
I own a small Mobile Valeting business specialising in bike care and after reading a couple of article from members I have a few tips to pass on for "weatherization" for people who want to ride throughout the year in all weather. And don't want their bikes to suffer the dreaded corrosion worm and watch their bikes dissolve in front of their eyes.

Taking that most members are on the other side of the pond to me I'm not looking for work. (before the mods think I'm scamming :( ).

I did say "most" :D

I'm about 275 miles North of you, and the only person who provides the service that I do in the North West and Wales.

What's your approach to cleaning off the salt?

Once I have permission from the mods I will go through the cleaning process and how to protect your bikes, also adding my web site for information.

There isn't anything really special but using the right chemicals, which have anti corrosion built in and applying ACF50 correctly and how to maintain the ACF50 over the winter. And what polishes to use on body plastics.

This K1200R was truelly bad and haden't seen a good clean for a long time "a police officers bike", when he came out of work the look on his face was amazing. Like a kid with a new toy. :D

At no time did I touch the bike with a sponge "they are the work of the devil".

Hi and Welcome

Nice bike, I hope to get a 2004/2005 ZX-12R in the next year or two.
