Hello Everybody
I have recently purchased a used 2015 NC700XDCT. I live in ID but ordered it from a dealership in Maryland and had it shipped. I saw the bike via pictures only. The bike was delivered last week and I noticed a small rust area and wanted to ask you guys about it. From looking at it, and parts sites it looks like its the screw to hold the chain slider. Its sitting in a small depression. Now the bike only has about 2400 miles on it so I am guessiing water must have gotten into that depression and slowly rusted the screw and washer. I am trying to decide if I should pour some vinegar on it while its still installed or remove it and clean or just replace it. It looks like I can remove it and replace it without hurting anything but wanted to ask and make sure it wont since I have not had any experience working on this bike. I want to make sure that its not going to effect anything. Also how do you guys keep this area dry? Since its like a depression I can see how it will collect and hold water.
Here is where I identified the part.
