Hi lilleyen. I thought I saw rust around the brake handles the day I bought the Scooter. The Scooter was crated till I purchased it so rust seemed unreasonable. After further investigation, I beleive it was lube applied at the factory. Does anyone agree?
Don, thank you, you were right.
I returned to the dealers today (putting some more money on my layaway 2004 blue an650)

, and took a closer look at the showroom model I mentioned that had rust on the brake levers, based on your comments.
It IS brown rust coloured GREASE.
I think you may be right about the aluminum levers too.
I would assume though, that the pins and springs in the levers are steel.
These will have to be kept lubricated and rustproofed.
I am going to pick up another spray can of Krown or Rustcheck soon.
Going to spray the underside, radiator, frame pipes etc., while it's still brand new!
Can't wait to get my new burg delivered to my house and check it's oil levels and tire pressures and front wheel bolts and center stand bolts and, brake lights and turn signals, and, and ................
Then go for my first ride
Then bring it home and polish the hell out of it, and maybe just sit down and look at it for a while, with a big stupid grin on my face.
