Protecting the YBR 125 chrome in the first place
first of all keep your bike covered over all the time , i see many YBR 125 and the difference is amazing
between a dry stored YBR and one left out in the rain and elements .
Every nut and bolt is effected , rusts and affects the wiring connectors too .
keep your bike dry stored or even under a cover is better than nothing

you can then spray with WD40 which is what i do or you can use Carnauba wax .
Cleaning your Yamaha YBR 125 chrome .
first of all i clean the part thoroughly with a sponge and hot water / washing up liquid mix .
this can sometimes clean chrome up surprisingly well on it own , do not use a scouring pad as it will
scratch the chrome surface leaving it looking terrible use the sponge side .
i then dry the chrome part , spray with wd40 and go over the lot with a very fine wire wool
so fine it does not scratch the surface it just removes the pitting and rusty scabs .
i then use metal polish to finish .
it takes a a fair bit of effort but the result are are excellent , and cheaper than replacing parts .
this is the wire wool i buy it a long roll , its excellent stuff well worth buying a large roll if you
have a lot of motorbikes .

this is the metal polish i always use .
