I cleaned the XB12SX today (for the first time - it's only done 450 miles). It looks good but how do you guys clean the non-shiny bits, like the frame, swing arm,etc? I accidently got some Autoglym on the frame/fuel tank, but wiped it off with a damp cloth. I'm anxious not to bugger it up but I want it to look a bit better. Any suggestions? Fanx.

I use GT85 can be used as a penertrator, displaces moisture, can be used on rubber and plastics.

Yes you can use it on your tank cover to polish it or you can spray on and wipe straight off to clean & protect surfaces. I use it around all my controls, switches, mirrors etc. its a good product. |

Halfords sell GT85 - but you may need to look for it in the bicycle dept. |

The toughest bit to clean on my 09 is the engine block itself. The 09s (and I think 10s) have a rough black finish and I've found nothing that can clean it well yet. Cloths are useless on it - they just get eaten by the rough finish. Suggestions? |
