Hi all, anyone got this problem?
It is 100% new RC390 but stored from 2018. I bought it 10 days ago with 0 km on it and some small scratches on the bike.
4 days ago I got some work, and I need to go apart from home, then I leave the bike here with 2/3 fuel in tank. I don't know how it rusted like this just after 4 days. I asked the mechanic, and he said all the metal fuel tanks could be like this, just run till 7500 km then come to maintenance and he will clean it.
Is he lying to me, or is there a problem? Although I have owned motorcycles with metal fuel tanks in the past, I have never experienced this kind of issue.
Now what should I do? Will the gasoline pump rust as well? I intend to apply epoxy sealer after take it to the mechanic for him to maintain and clean when 7500 kilometers on odo.
Its just 500km on the bike now...
