Hi guys
Are there any parts on the zx14 which are susceptible to corrosion?
Unfortunately my garage has a steel roof, sometimes I get a lot of condensation dripping off the roof onto my bike, do you guys have any experience with ACF 50 spray? Thought about using it on these areas!

No major rust problems. My bike's 10 years old and all I see are a few spots on some of the original bolt heads. The fuel tank likes to rust where the foam pad under the seat is glued. Definitely wipe that off and leave seat off any time that gets wet. Never had a problem with rust binding screw threads. Then again, I have always stored the bikes in a garage that was pretty dry. Of course, had some water run in on the floor after thawing. If it's actually dripping on the bike, I'd look for another place to keep it or fix the roof.

How about a light plastic cover?I definitely would get that at a minimum.

Think a lot depends on the frequency of being wet and the length of time between rides. If you're storing it, put some sort of water proof cover (don't forget about pest if there's any possiblity). If it get's a little wet now and then, doesn't seem like it would be any different than washing it unless it's could sit for days being wet.

Anything that's steel will rust. Most of the fasteners will rust. Brake rotors. Might cause connectors to corrode prematurely. Water getting and sitting around places is usually undesirable, can expose wiring issues that normally wouldn't surface (this one isn't very likely, but it does happen, and when it does...).

I don't think water is involved in formation of aluminum oxides (steel/aluminum seizing) but it might be?

Thanks for replies, yep going cover it with a breathable cover, and use some anti corrosion spray on the steel bits,
Had a good look around today, I would say its pretty much immaculate, and the only corrosion at moment is the steel bracket that holds the brake pipe and flexi pipe, looks like it unbolts from the rear frame, so will remove, take the peeling paint off and repaint.
Thanks again
