    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

dealing with aluminum oxidation

Hey everyone! So I live in a very humid climate (New Orleans) and it seems to really create extreme aluminium oxidation. I'm kinda of a newbie and I did some searching on this forum but still haven't found a good answer is there any way to prevent this and what's the best way to clean this off? The bike is running but it seems like some of it got into the carbs and is perhaps responsible for making the slide stick.

Also, as a follow up question. I want to buy a motorcycle cover (since I have to park the bike in my driveway) any recommendations for a decent cover at a decent price?

I can't really answer how to prevent the oxidation you asked about but I bought my motorcycle cover at Walmart; does pretty good when I decide to actually cover the bike BEFORE it rains :rolleyes:
 
I rub it in till its almost dried up and then buff it up with Tshirt rags. Just like waxing a car
