When I pulled the subframe off my bike last night I noticed that the lower subframe mount points on the frame hold a lot of water in them. Could this cause rust over time? I was thinking maybe I should drill some small holes just above the weld but I do not know if that would weaken the mounts. Should I worry about this?
I have a new 2010 model TE510 with just 300kms on the clock. I removed my plastic skid plate to find a pool of rusty water sitting inside the skid plate. I tracked this down to a drip of water coming from small holes at the bottom of the frame. I sprayed WD40 into the frame to help flush the water out. Love the bike but I am also a concerned about water sitting inside the frame that is obviously causing rust.
