Rusty Yoke
Not actually sure if its called the yoke but it's rusty anyway It seems weird because the rest of the bike is fine, and its only a K3! Is this just Suzuki using cheap metals or is there something in particular causing it. Sometimes when the radiator is wet and the bikes running a lot of steam comes off it, could this be causing it? And is there anyway I can remove it, or at least stop it from getting worse |

Re: Rusty Yoke
Got the same on my K4 and as you the rest of the bike is fine.
Not much help to you but your not alone on the rust.... I have a rag in the shed covered in WD40 that I wipe it down with a much as I can on the bits I can get my hands too, seems to help slow it down... |

Re: Rusty Yoke
Use the autosol and then spray it with Scottoiler FS365 corrosion protector. that should help keep it away
