you bought a Suzuki and an SV at that, they alllllll rust at the slightest hint of water. Thing is theres no point just washing it, you have to polish and wax it, and grease stuff too

Yea i gave it a nice clean up yesterday got all the grease off found out it had a white rear suspension spring and sprayed a lot of it with gt 85, tbh though you dont really expect a 3 month old exhaust to go like that if you bought a brand new bike and the standrad exhaust rusted after same amount of time you'd take it back to where you bought it from.

Nah the water'll get rid of the salt that'll kill it I really need to spray mine down after yesterdays ride.

I can't see the picture (my browser's knackered) but if you're talking about the pipes (not the can) most exhaust manufacturers will tell you you're supposed to paint them, unless it's stainless.

looks spotles compared to your brakelines and caliper bolts ....

I'd say they would be your priority to keep in good condition too!

have you seen the amount of salt on the road lately? Unfortunately, its what happens. Did you know you get more salt damage in summer? According to scottoiler FS365 its what happens. I know your disappointed, but thats life with a suzuki...its a chore to keep up with them.

its not rust dude, road salt as said, when you wash bike always polish after after

As has been said, autosol and elbow grease is the only way

I needs a scottoiler. I'm so lazy I can't even be bothered to clean my chain let alone my bike.
