peteretep Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Got a couple of scooters that live outside in the rain, they keep getting that white powdery stuff covering all of the aluminium parts like carburettors and engine casings. Whats a decent way to stop that from occuring, doesnt look like they would last more than a few years without any sort of protection. There is no way to stop them getting wet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I got the aerosol for easier coverage, your mileage may vary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I sold a Yamaha sr185. After 12 months everything aluminium on the bike had turned to powder. Probably just a mix of environmental conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
