I also use the T9 protection up here in Wisconsin. I buy the gallon jug and apply it with a small pump sprayer hitting the underside and any metal parts. I try to ride year round weather permitting and the road salt has not be able to screw up my bike yet. I coat it twice a year and coat the wheels before I ride. No pitting on my rims ever, even after forgetting to clean them after a ride.

Interested to know - I'll be encountering the same problem in Myrtle Beach here soon. I have a rain cover on order, but would like to see what other steps I can take to prevent major rusting.

Like KBFXDLI said every thing but the seat tires and brake rotors. Wipe it off the areas you see. I like to leave it on the undercarriage with out wiping it off just for extra protection.

I actually thought this was a troll post when I first read it.

Weird how it affects some bikes and not others. I have left my bike overnight in the rain right on the ocean and it has never affected mine like that. I have some rust (primarily on engine/exhaust bolts) but not much. Mine has sat outside 24/7 for years and I rarely wash the damn thing.

Good coat of dirt and Marine Corp air. Don't drink the water.

The water is fine nowadays, least that is what the Marine Corps tells me.

I was concerned about any type of rust inhibitor discoloring the engine as it heat cycles. I am assuming that since you apply it to everything but seat, tires and rotors it's OK on all parts of the motor?

This is precisely why I will NEVER take my bike to the beach. We go to the Outer Banks of NC frequently and see a lot of bikes there. I always feel bad for the folks because I know that they are soon to discover areas of rust that are difficult, if not impossible, to eliminate. When we go to the beach it's in this vehicle...
