Cleaning the sumpguard

[fabienlegall]

Hi everyone,

This is how was the sump guard when I bought my AT:








Here are a few tips to clean it:

1) Water & sponge:









2) Unleaded 95 :









3) A bit of "Belgom Alu":











So that's the result:

Thanks guys for your nice comments !

However, I am afraid shipping costs are too expensive to send your

sumpguards to France, therefore I have to decline your offers... (I have

to recognize it took me a few minutes to find this excuse...)

My objective is to show that even a newbie to motorbike can do a few

things on the bike by himself...

Next thread will be about how to clean the rims... I have found two

"magical" products to make this easier.

Thanks again,

Fabien

Well done

Obviously you are a dedicated kind of guy who needs to keep his machine clean. Maybe a compulsive issue?
As I like my bike clean but dont like the cleaning part we can form a mutual agreement
> once a yaer I ride to France , while there you strip and clean my bike and use yours to tour France returning it suitably dirty.
This gives you a route for your compulsion as well and I get a holiday
Everybody is a winner , well me ??? Just another 51 volounteers and you can be occupied all year

Excellent job mate, bit too clean for me though!
Just a thought, there are over 1050 active members on this site, if it is indeed a compulsive issue, then you could almost have a full time job everyday of the year, morning, noon and night!
P.S. What is "Belgom Alu"?

When i got my st750 the sump guard had been painted, so that involved alot of wet and dry as well as these steps, also i put some "cream" on at the last stage and was like a mirror, forget what it was called but if i remember ill check in the garage tomoro
