Maybe you haven't cleaned it well enough before painting it. |

They rust from the inside, thats where the moisture and bear metal is so your always gonna get rust, buy a better on from a jap scoot, hammerite paint is good on outside but like I said it wont last for ever _________________ Treat your bikes like women, ride em fast and make sure there clean!! |

Very true, but at least by painting them you will prevent the outside rust hurrying to meet the inside rust. _________________

I'm lucky some one wrote my new bike off before the rust set in!
oh and I tend to douch all my bikes in I think its called AC 59f or something, they use for airplanes to protect them, good on chinese ones esp the screws cause most of the chrome is plastic anyway _________________ Treat your bikes like women, ride em fast and make sure there clean!! |

Hello,
Here is Maxxspeed. A few weeks ago I bought a chinese scooter. Do you know a way to do something with the exhaust so it can go 55 km/hour?
best regards,
Maxxspeed

|
|
We used to work on Diesel Generators and back then we found that for some reason high temp silver lasted longer than high temp black.
Any thoughts on that? _________________ Chinese 150cc touring model |

I have read somewhere that spraying the exhaust with motorex 645 stops corrosion. dont know how often this needs to be done. going to try it on my scoot when it arrives - so if anyone reads this in the future contact me and I will let you know if it works - unless someone else has tried this?

It'd be good to know... that for the inside or out? _________________ 2007 Sukida SK50QT-9 Roma (Oct 2007 - Present)

external. you spray on and rub over. seemingly it doesnt burn off, but I think would have to be applied every so often.
