Tried the same damp rag on the Suzuki with less effect, but that’s to be expected, it’s twoscore years older than the R6 and undoubtedly has had a fair bit more sitting around in sketchy conditions in its life.
That’s it! Not sure when I will be getting around to doing some real work on this. The R6 has a battery which I have on the charger, if it comes back I’ll probably try fiddling with that first.
