Even dry & clear winter roads here have salty 'dust' remaining on them for days after a snow.
I'll ride the LIKE on these roads - and will take the time to rinse and dry the scooter afterwards.
I like to add the protection of ACF-50 again before it starts. (2 applications a year seems to work for me)
Snow in the forecast tonight....so spent a couple hrs: degreasing, washing, drying, waxing & applying ACF-50. I also removed the heat shield and resprayed the muffler w/hi-temp paint. This will be the scoot's 8th winter of riding - muffler and underside of things looks clean and corrosion free.
Oils and valves done recently. Airfilter looks like it will last 30 years. Tires checked and scoots were topped up with Shell Nitro 93. Both have battery tender pigtails installed.
Well, here we go into another winter....!
