Hi Guys,

I have a spare crankshaft I will be installing on a eton 90 and has a couple small spots of surface rust (very light) and would appreciate any advice if I should worry about it or not. The bike is used for cruising around the dunes and by no means racing.

Can I just install it without cleaning the surface rust?

If I need to clean it up, what is the best way?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Steel wool and wd 40 then polish it up. Should be fine.
