With the winter months coming to an end, the bike would go for up to 5-6 weeks not being ridden at a time. So I am concerned with her not being used that often and sitting in the garage, that there could have been moisture and rust forming. Will be getting out on the road more often now as the rain season draws to an end, and have serviced the bike etc and wanted to check other things too. Rust in the fuel tank was on the to do list.

Think I'm being paranoid? Should I just leave it? No issues with the engine, she runs great.
