My current Rockster has big paint (oxidation, actually) bubbles on the valve cover, and erosion/flaking of paint on forks casting...

Blue paint bubbling and peeling off cylinder heads
Posted in the Rockster section which is dead.
Any remedy to the blue coating bubbling, bursting and peeling off the heads? Trying to prevent them from corroding.
I have two photos but no idea how to insert them here
Thank you

Re: No start but a lot of rattle ...
NoRRmad, thank you for the quick reply. No fuel pump whine, but a clean, very conspicuous rattle, which also seems to fade away/diminish in volume as the power dissipates. I will replace the battery, keeping my fingers crossed. Then a paint job will be next since the bike, even if garaged and kept c...

Ignition off and put the battery on re-charge (through bike's 12V power outlet) for 3 days. Battery charger led green (full charge). I...

Drive Shaft Leak

I have pictures but do not know how to post them. How serious is it? Dealer is about 25 miles away. Can I ride it to him ...
