should i not ask to replace that part as the bike is just 6 months old? and one more thing. my left hand fingers gets weird dirt after riding for about half an hour. this is due to the usage of clutch. i am facing this issue from day 1 of getting the bike. also the clutch lever is clean every time i take the bike. attached a picture for reference.Originally posted by chetanchandu2000 View PostFor avoiding rust n for rust removal try WD40 spray, n protect your bikes from rain n dust spray the WD40 where you cant access to dry the water.
hope this helps.

There must be grease(with dirt) on the clutch lever.(when the clutch lever os joined with the clamp(dont knw the exact name) which is covered by a rubber kinda thing)Speak Less,Speak Wise!

i don't think so because my bike is being cleaned daily by our security and i overlook his cleaning in the weekends. also i do clean my clutch lever and the break lever every time i take the bike. And in the service centre they said i am the 5th person to report this problem. unfortunately they don't have any clue about this or a solution.Originally posted by haxor View PostThere must be grease(with dirt) on the clutch lever.(when the clutch lever os joined with the clamp(dont knw the exact name) which is covered by a rubber kinda thing)Ride Safe!!

It is actually the aluminum from the clutch lever.I have a kb and as long as the anodized coating was there it was ok,but when it was gone ,due to usage...everytime I ride i get similar coating on my fingers...my KB100 is now 23 yrs old,and I have depression on the clutch lever where my fingers press on it...so I know for sure.Originally posted by venkatesh_B View Postshould i not ask to replace that part as the bike is just 6 months old? and one more thing. my left hand fingers gets weird dirt after riding for about half an hour. this is due to the usage of clutch. i am facing this issue from day 1 of getting the bike. also the clutch lever is clean every time i take the bike. attached a picture for reference.

I see. So what is the solution? Should i indicate the service centre that the anodized coating has gone and they should replace it? Now i get a doubt if they had actually done that coating prior because i am suffering this problem from day1. thought it would be the dirt or grease from the lever as it is a new bike and didn't bother to peep into the problem. now the problem is going worse and that to if i go to some food court i m intended to hide my left hand as this thing doesn't go easily by washing.Originally posted by psr View PostIt is actually the aluminum from the clutch lever.I have a kb and as long as the anodized coating was there it was ok,but when it was gone ,due to usage...everytime I ride i get similar coating on my fingers...my KB100 is now 23 yrs old,and I have depression on the clutch lever where my fingers press on it...so I know for sure.

The more you operate it more the coating on your fingers..I still haven't found a cure for it...Not only this,I use my front brake more to stop and so fingers on both my hand look coated with this Black deposit.If I find a suitable DIY coating for this I will PM you.Originally posted by venkatesh_B View PostI see.

Alternatively wear riding gloves.When Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.

latest solution i found was to wear gloves were ever i go.
thats a pretty much DIY as i did it myself (buying one and wearing it)
. enough of stupid jokes. how about cello taping the whole lever?
Also i want to if others are facing the same problem.Last edited by venkatesh_B; 11-30-2010, 03:53 PM.Ride Safe!!

Yes, since the last one year or so, I have been facing the same problem on my Fiero F2 too, but with the brake lever.
I use only one finger, so that is the one that gets dirty.
I wash it in case its too much, else just ignore it.Quench my thirst with gasoline!

The cello tape will peel of with the operating pressure and you will be left with a tacky coating on the leverOriginally posted by venkatesh_B View Postlatest solution i found was to wear gloves were ever i go.
