Ive lost access to my garage, and now need to leave the bike outside the house.


Albeit, its under a cover, and well covered at that, but im concerned about the bottom of the wheels and side stand rusting with it constantly being unprotected like that.

Im also concerned about crucial parts gathering up moisture (like the swingarm) during the morning dew and any other residue that comes into the equation when not indoors.


Is there something i can spray it with, like an oil based formula that repels water and stops corrosion?

WD40 would be the simplest answer :D

ACF50. Research it, a lot of people on here swear by it. It works. Its cheap. Its clean. Comes in cans :)

YOu have 2 choices here,


ACF50 or Scotoiler FS365


ACF 50 is a once only apply but is harder to wash off.


FS 365 is water based and you apply it after any ride in the rain.


I use FS365 and I rate it, nice and simple to use takes no time at all and has helped keep the tiger looking good through 2 winters. Also kept my old GSXR with polished frame and swingarm furr free during the winter which is no mean feat!!

Thanks guys.


The ACF50 sounds interesting. You say its harder to wash off...but why would you want to? Surely thats the point in an anti-water anti-corrosion chemical?

Just being curious.


Its only to apply to the more delicate areas like the swingarm etc when a rainy spell comes in for a while.


Ill look into it....a trip down gericke is in order i think....thanks guys!
