Morning all,
Got my KTM 520 back after receiving some much needed love from Kamahl. Bike had been sitting around for a while and needed a few things done like carby strip & clean, new seals, throttle cable, new battery etc but is running great now.

However, she's been sitting under a patio with a bike cover on for a while and some surfaces are a bit worse for wear, photos below. Rusted bolts and stuff I'm guessing it's best to replace outright, but for surfaces that are weather worn whats the best way to clean them up?


Also, bike is currently unregistered, and I'm under strict instructions from the boss to sell it. Is it worth going to the trouble of re-registering it or would I be better off selling it as is? (once aesthectic issues are sorted) I'm not up with what these are worth now but wouldn't expect it to be any more than a couple of grand so thinking it may well be best just moving it as is. (given I have the mechanical skills of a brick and a knack for understanding how things work right after I've broken them)
Also not sure if the tyres that are on it are road legal and would actually get over the pits.... Some more pics here. rnelson955's Library | Photobucket
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers
