Before and after shot, the right hand section has had 10 minutes hardcore scrubbing with wd40 and a brillo pad (nothing else will shift the rust ben)
A different view
A close up of the cleaned section, as you can see not all the rust is removed and there still very small areas with it on! Getting right to the edge of the rollers is really hard!
So should i just give up now and get a new chain or is this one still useable? It has no tight spots and moves freely as far as im aware but the slight pitting and rust remains after cleaning im worried about.
My front sprocket is also UBER rusty, should i be concerned about this?
On the up side, the wheels have been analy cleaned and are now gleaming aside from the odd stone chip! The seat has been cleaned and is ready for re-fitting along with the rear fairing! Left foot peg lies in front of me ready to be tackle with some wet and dry and polish! Right will soon recieve the same treatment!
Thanks again for all your help guys, ill get the removal pics up when i can, im still surprised i manged to get the chain off without removing the sprocket!
