I'm a new member. Just got my second bike, which is also my first XS650. I'm sure I will get another one once I have become more familiar with working on bikes (specifically the XS's). I've already had tons of great tips and wisdom come from some of you guys on here and for that I am extremely grateful. Some of the things I asked about I don't really have the ability to do right now so I would like to focus on something I can go home and do tonight!
So... I would like to clean up the chrome (exhaust, front fender, rear fender, etc.) and also clean up the motor. Lots of grime buildup and maybe a little rust? Same with the wheels. I've actually been able to clean those up quite a bit. But no such luck with the motor.
Any suggestions on good products/tools to use?
Also, I've seen some beautiful bikes on here already that look showroom! More likely to be fresh bought OEM parts? Or a LOT of cleaning? Just curious bc that's how I want mine to look. Thanks!
