Didn't have time to take my bike to a friend of mine house. So had my buddy take it. He never covered it and it got covered in snow and salt off the road from the truck kicking it up. What can i use to get rid of the salt on the forks and front of the engine.

If I have ridden in a lot of salt I use a spray bottle of vinegar to neutralize it, then rinse it down with water.

Vinegar - does that really work? If so, great tip!

well...once I spray down the bike...I let it drip onto my fries.....YUMMY!!!

In my opinion, it does work. I live in western ny where we get a decent amount of snow. With the snow comes the salt. Since I have been doing it there has been no pitting on the aluminum or anything. So, I would think it works well.

Vinegar will neutralize jellyfish venom. Didn't know about salt.

I use vinegar to clean the scales out of my coffee maker. Should work on salt.
