what did you use to buff it out? maybe i already have some?

 

Some people use that TR3 stuff............ . I always just start with polishing compound and a rag......... and that will get it smooth and kinda shiny ........... but then follow that with turtle wax.... or any kind of car wax

 

 

 

For your rims: ....... Mother's mag and aluminum polish makes alluminum rims looks like crome ........ use 0000 steel wool... .. and a courser grade for the relly rough spots

Actually, that looks like it could be the drain plug under the radiator leaking. Make sure it's tight. Mine vibrated loose on the way up to Noob's, so I had to pull over and top off my coolant a few times before it was discovered. That looks like water on the ground from the pic, but you may be right; it might be oil.

 

Sick bike, by the way.

I'm with micro - it looks like a coolant leak....

 

Or, wait a minute, your 610 is automatic, right? Even higher on the list would be the trans cooler line at the radiator connection.

 

Here's what to do: Grab a drip pan, place under car and over suspicious spot. Put newspaper on the bottom of the pan. Check for color.

Wet/watery and anything from greenish to rusty = coolant, and its at your radiator. Oily and Reddish (like cherry Kool-Aid) to reddish-brown is transmission fluid, and its at the connection at the bottom of your radiator.

Don't toss that air cleaner snorkel out(black one in the pic w/ the bumpers and condenser) I may be interested in that condenser too.. if'in you were planning to toss that stuff out.

 

 

Jessi removed my snorkel....ill prolly keep that to go with the stock carb when i get a weber and a new header someday down the road.

but the condenser is all yours.....actually if u came down, and helped me figured out how to remove the last of it, you can have the whole ac, and everything that goes with it........maybe trade me something cool for it??:P just a thought :cool:

but yeah, come down and pick it up. i got a pretty big house if u wanna go out and party, and then crash for a night?

let me know
