Funtime Dave Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Long time no post....been having fun on my 125DT which has taken a good number of years off me. My first bike so probably about to ask for real numpty questions. Bike has some rust on it as you would expect just wanted a heads up on what I should be doing to look after things. Wheels/Spokes - got rust. I have bough some wire brushes. Once I have got the rust off anything I should be coating them in? Any advice for getting off the rust. Frame - got rust - Again any advice for getting off the rust and what to do after. Presume should paint but wondered if there is any specific paint I should be avoiding or getting Chain - I got chain lube which I apply when the chain gets dry, using a bit of carbaord to stop the spray getting anywhere it shouldn't Anything else I should be doing on a regular basis. I am probably a one spanner man at the moment hoping to get up to two spanner jobs soon. I bought the Haynes manual and have had a local independent fella give the bike a once over just to keep an eye on things. Appreciate any help offered.
