I am new any kind of motorbike mechanics other than a general service.

I have recently acquired a 1975 DT 250B, and always wanting to embark on the restoration of a classic bike I thought I would dive in and start here.

Bike is was very rough and engine was ceased so have stripped it all down and am starting to clean in up. Here is photo of when I first collected 62cc6eaff40e284ab65b61bc4e2cc787.jpg

And now

Have you tried Baco foil and Coca cola on your chrome ? Believe it or not it seems to really clean chrome of rust and blemishes. Look it up on Youtube.
