Royal Enfield Classic 350 Pre Winter rust prep Pt2; XCP Rust Blocker CLEAR COAT

[@weddincoyote2440]

The J series engine has such a wonderful thump to it.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi it does indeed sound fantastic! 😁👍👍

[@simonchilli2088]

Excellent ideal to use a chock of wood under the sump to work on the back of the bike Bruce. Good to see Murphy taking a keen interest in what your doing too

[@Coastriderscotland]

Thanks Simon, Murphy always trying to get involved in everything going on! 😜😁👍

A proper workhorse, and a pleasant change from guess-the-latest-bike channels. Looks like you have a slight blow from the exhaust top. I'll definitely try XCR.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi, think thats the XCP burning off as the pipe warms up, but you may be right as i did not. Replace the copper seal when i fitted the stainless pipe, i should check it though! 😁

[@tedcase9175]

Hi Bruce another grande vid, hey your bike ,your riding it don’t listen to the knocker’s, just get on with it, hey that dog looks smashing, what a lovely thing, wish I could have one, you take care, oh ex Army boots , seal socks the way to go mate, take care NW biker dude Ted

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Ted, Murphy is a great addition to us both! 😁👍 I have a couple of pairs of Sea Skinez socks for cycling offroad 👍 A pair of Army boots are on the way courtesy of our British Army 😉😁👍

[@johncranwell3783]

I agree…. Great fella on a great bike…. Doing it how he wants to and that’s always how it should be….

[@frankboff8185]

Good video, I normally use acf 50, but I will get some Xcp and give it a go.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi frank it seems good stuff, once dry not sticky or greasy 👍😁

[@stanleylawson9015]

Bruce will be trying this out for winter pre too many thanks

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi easy to apply and wipe off anywhere not needed like tyres etc 😁👍

[@farangdan]

Niice work sir.. Still here in Thailand, my Edna is now 2 years old in jan.. No winter prep needed here but plenty of water in rainy season.. Best of luck🎉🎉

[@Coastriderscotland]

Thanks, this stuff should keep the winter salt from causing rust in the coming winter months!, it is also waterproof 😜😁👍👍

[@jonyoung6405]

Im going to give my RE a WD-40 bath for a winter nap. Cheers.

[@Coastriderscotland]

😁👍

[@kottomack]

Hi Bruce! The exhaust paint seems to holding up nicely.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi the paint is still on the stainless pipe ok!, 👍😁

[@GlynOC]

Im conflicted 😅 not sure if i need it or not. Look forward to the spring clean to see how it holds up

[@Coastriderscotland]

Only need it if your going to be out on salted roads Glyn 😁👍

[@johncranwell3783]

I think it’s a really good idea to coat the bikes with winter prep…. Back in the mid 80s when I was riding my 800 BMW on commute 200 miles each way in winter completely spoilt it with all that salt…

[@johncranwell3783]

You bike always looks great 😊 So many going for black number plates these days…ever had any problems with the law over it? Cheers John

[@Coastriderscotland]

Thanks John, i have not had any probs with black reg plate though i do mostly ride on Country roads etc

[@lancerbiker5263]

Sounds like good stuff. Not sure I'd use it on my factory yellow paint though. 🥃

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Lance some decent polish would be best for your paint 😁👍🥃

[@antonywilliams1438]

As my bike is outside all time i use gt find it pretty good but I will get a bottle xcp looks OK

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Antony it will not do your bike any harm to get a coating of XCP 😁👍👍

[@antonywilliams1438]

@@Coastriderscotland thanks 😊

[@tiger-rose-rides]

Can i ask where you got the tank bag from?

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi, i got this at a car boot for £1! I don’t think it is genuine military, had no stamps inside Cheers Bruce

[@tiger-rose-rides]

@@Coastriderscotland ah right i have the sandstorm 350 and i have been looking for a tank-rack sized bag but no luck yet. Many thanks

[@rosswilliams531]

Thanks and will try XCP this winter as I plan to ride my Hunter all year but can I ask once applied, do you wash the crud and salt off after every ride and reapply or do you leave the bike dirty and wash the bike in spring?

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Ross the XCP should stay on after a cold rinse over with a hose, and i imagine only using a Citrus based cleaner will remove it like it removes GT85 or Lanoguard

[@rosswilliams531]

@@Coastriderscotland thanks mate will give it a go

[@adrianstrand1120]

Hi Bruce, why not just use the clear coat, any need to use the rust blocker too ? Cheers 👋

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Adrian i just bought this going on some reviewers, hopefully it takes care of the winter road salt when out at weekends 😁👍

[@adrianstrand1120]

@@Coastriderscotland I’m sure it will do a good job, I’ve noticed my local Halfords sell it too, anyway if you decide to get another classic consider mine, I think I’ll be selling my signals by next spring, it won’t be seeing any road salt this winter either. Cheers

[@andywebb6640]

I've got acf50 on my Bullet and Interceptor , which I reapply regularly. I think xcp is more of a once and done thing for over winter, but maybe a bit gloopier?

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Andy the finish of the XCP is not sticky or greasy to touch and should not attract dirt to much, hopefully it will stay on doing its job longer than say GT85 👍😁

[@andywebb6640]

@@Coastriderscotland I shall order some for when my acf is used up. Both bikes live outside under covers.

[@Coastriderscotland]

@@andywebb6640 it was there Clear coat with purple colour on spray bottle i used on my bike 😁👍

[@weemark67]

Great work. I got a bottle and mini spray of ACF50. So once this if used up, will purchase this XCP, gotta support the Shire. Bumble was serviced yesterday 😊 Hi to Murphy😊

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Mark, it leaves a non sticky finish so should be good 😁👍 Murphy says hello 😁👍🐕‍🦺

[@staryjanek]

Altberg boots best ever, but not so good nowadays since they got the MOD contract,sadly.

[@Coastriderscotland]

I should find a pair of Altberg boots 😁👍

[@jackn4853]

Mine, are 24 years old and still in great condition. They are, and have been the only bike boots that I've had in those years. Wether current Altbergs are as good l don't know.

[@girlinagale]

Do you have to keep xcp away from the brake discs?

[@borderlands6606]

Always keep lubricants away from discs and pads.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Yes deft keep all oils away from your disc rotors! That is why i covered them with cloth 😁👍

[@girlinagale]

@@Coastriderscotland Gave my 350 a proper wash in the cold morning sunshine, blew off the drips with a leaf blower and an hour later liberally sprayed with xcp. I wrapped the discs and pads with rags. The hardest bit was the front of the skid plate, very greasy mud splatter. I'm glad that didn't go onto the engine.
