BBB Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yep. UK roads use a lot of salt and I ride all year round. Some rust areas are not an issue, like bits at the top of the mirror stalks. Some that are more worrying, like under the fuel tank. And some that were an absolute pain, like the exhaust header nuts, that sheared off a stud and required tapping the head to replace it.

koth442 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Watch out for your oil cooler. I've heard many Brit's complaining about their oil coolers corroding away. Doesn't seem to be an issue in the US though, even in salt states. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1nn1e Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I've got a scattering all over, particularly the header brackets and nuts and the big nut in the centre of the oil heat exchanger, plus some corrosion on most of the lower crankcase bolt heads. When I have the time, after washing I go around with ACF50 and apply with an old toothbrush to all areas, also the clips around the radiator pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a fair bit of tinkering on my bike and I'm pretty good at looking out for irregularities. I haven't noticed any rust. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
