Rusty Yoke - SV650.org

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

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...

autosol gets that off.

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

Mines been like that for years... its just seems to get to a rusty point and then just tail off.
