Thumbs down More rusting

After having seen the paint fading off from the alloys and from the front sproaket cover now the bike gifted me with the new rusted area in the swingarm (at the end), it has rusted real good, so have to scratch the area now and have to paint it.

I have bought a small can of paint and brush.

Bro, I also have seen a good amount of rusting at the bottom of the exhaust pipe (just near the brake pedal). What kind of paint should I use which can withstand high temperatures? Or do I have to powder-coat it

After your review with it in your F2, i have a little doubt in my mind with it as RTR shares almost the same engine family as the F2, will be checking the oil level timely.
and lets see how it performs...

For silencer the best is to get it powercoated, i've bought a normal black paint (asain paints), as it's almost an inch of a area that got rusted in the swingarm.

I have used the petronas sprinta5000(FS) for approx 500 kms nw and i havent felt any major change. the bike engine has the same level of refinement as before and gears shifting has become somewhat hard. with a prominent "thak "sound being emmited sometimes wen i shift gears. overall i hav not yet found a reason to believe that this oil is bter than other mineral oils and tru4.If the need arises shud i top-up with semisynth oil or use only FS oil.
Had a narrow shave today. I was goin @50-60kmph when suddenly a goods carrier auto standing on the side of the road suddenly started and tuk a sharp turn and came into d middle of the road. I applied d brakes and tyres were screeching and bike came to a halt only after a few moments during which bike's rear wobbled and i was dead scared for a second as i had an bike accident earlier on this bike only which left me with a broken left collar bone and 3 months of no biking. I fortunately managed to stop safely and ave a mouthful to that driver. F@#%$^& autowallahs. I was saved by god's grace be careful of the autowallahs guys
