Hi guys,
I am an IDIOT! I took the race bike (ZXR400SP) for a practice day 3 weeks ago. When I got back home it was dark and I just put it under the house. Everything was working well so I never looked at it. I am racing tomorrow, so today I went down to load it into the van, and discover the left hand side of the swingarms and lower frame is black, with powdery white crap all over it. I must have boiled the bloody battery during the last session and in my haste to pack up I never even noticed it. Now the bike has been sitting with battery acid all over it and it has turned my aluminium black. FARK! :evil: Even my chain is looking a shade rusty and has weird powdery growths all over it.
I don't have time to frig around with it before racing, so I have just sprayed pretty much everything except the brakes and tyres with lanolin. The question is: When I get back from the race meeting, how the bloody hell do I get all this black corrosive fungusy looking crud off my bike :?:
Why oh why did I not wash it the day after racing like I normally do
?
