Hi follks,
I noticed today thatm there is a bright red dust coating the various surfaces around the primary cover of my wife's 600. The chain has always been very well lubed and has only 12000kms on it.
The dust is not wet at all, it reminds me of brake pad dust or friction plate dust from a car's manual tranny. It's coating the area under the cover, like the sidestand switch, the frame rail etc.
What do you suppose this is? It REALLY doesn't look like rust.
