Hi it's been a while since I posted due to life and kids etc. Anyway my Tenere is showing some serious corrosion and I am after some advice as the best way to deal with it.
The bike is a 13 plate with only 6k miles but I have ridden her all through the winter, I believe the previous / original owner lived on the coast and when I bought the bike it was starting to show some slight signs of corrosion on the engine casings.
As I am considering selling the bike my dilemma is whether to clean up the casings and repaint or just clean and sell as is (any other suggestions welcome). I don't want to mislead any potential buyers or spend forever sorting it out but obviously want to get a reasonable price for the bike.
I am replacing other corroded parts such as the chain with new items and apart from the corroded engine casings and spokes the bike is in great condition and has been looked after, although perhaps not washed enough. I would have thought a bike like the Tenere would have been a bit more durable (paint / finish wise) and had I known this would have been an issue I would have used ACF50 prior to winter.
