Re: Today's $52 find Pickles! another issue... lol

Greetings: Bike shops sell a 2-part tank cleaning-and-coating kit. Kreme is one brand, Yamaha brands another with their logo. If you follow directions it can work just fine, and the tank should be good afterward as long as there's fresh fuel in it. Thanks! If I have access to either brand, do you s...

Re: Today's $52 find...
