Tuned and Synch'ed
I went for a ride and noticed a rather large rust stain on the diff, swing arm and rear wheel. I identified it was coming from a threaded tube tab just in front of the right shock. This is one of the mounting points for my saddle bag brackets which I recently removed to change the rear tyre. It is covered by the plastic inner rear guard and has a rubber plug of the end tubes on either side. Water is getting in on the right hand side as the plug isn't fully seated. The right hand side tab goes into the frame as I put a piece of wire into the tab. Now To get to the plug I'll have to remove rear guard and inner plastic rear guard to seal the rubber plug. I am fortunate to have picked this up as the could have eventually rusted from the inside.
