Hospital canteens are generally terrible, the exception being the Royal in Derby when my Mum was on her last legs. The food was genuinely decent...
Another thought, has it been sat for a few weeks at all? Modern fuel goes off stupid quick. Fresh fuel could make a big difference if it has.
Amazing how bad a bike can get in two years! Glad it’s worked out for you though. I bet you can’t wait to see it out the door.
Quick update, thanks for all the ideas. A combination of hot water soak and WD40 is lifting it. It will be a long process as getting about 10-20mm...
It could be all sorts of things. Do you know anyone with a code reader? Might be worth pulling off the data and see if anything pops up. Depending...
I worked as a courier in the summers at University, I knew others who were doing Open University courses. Despatch riding is a grind, not many...
Based on how much pressure teams used to put on riders not to do the TT or similar, I can’t see it being popular tbh.
You do wonder, would be bad enough if local but a long way to send back from Spain. I would,imagine bikes suffering severe corrosion are even...
There is going to be one very unhappy customer in Spain. I genuinely can’t remember seeing worse than that for anything that hasn’t been sat in a...
Deox C with water doesn’t ‘creep’, the alcohol helps with that….
I have tried the WD40 after hot water and it seems to be working slowly. I can get about 20mm off each cycle, I think the warmth is softening the...
That’s an interesting thought….. Worked on the carbs :joy:
That is horrific, looks like the bikes the despatch riders had back in the 90s. I only did it in the summer holidays from Uni, but the guys doing...
Thanks for such a comprehensive reply! I will try the wd40 first on the grounds I have some and the safety aspect appeals. Fingers crossed!
It’s the shittest job you could imagine thankfully which give me hope. Almost like a bad overspray, then perhaps thought, bollocks may as well do...
Not Ducati but based on the wide experience on here, if anywhere will get a good newer it will be here. A previous owner of one of my other bikes...
It would have made a massive difference. I plan to try it with acetone as well, but again may need a mix with water to allow it to do It’s stuff....
There are a range of cheap overnight tariffs, I am on an old one that gives 5 hours at 7p a KW. Full charge on mine is a little over £5 for 300...
Not much use for now, but useful to have in the armoury. Get some Bilthamber deox c, it’s a powder you make into a solution to remove rust....
Happy with patina, don’t like excess dirt that could affect either the structure of the exhaust by encouraging corrosion, or make future removal...
