Hey Pete, thanks a lot for the heads-up !

I came back yesterday after spending 10 days in Vietnam, man they're crazier than us over there, everyone powering through the streets of Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi with their cubs...

I went to my dealer today, finally saw my YBR 250, and went with their mechanic to do all the process to sell the Honda & transfer the plates to the Yamaha. It was rather easy I'd say thanks to the Honda mechanic, but it's a crazy process...
I'm leaving China tomorrow yet again, and everything should be ready (bike with plates, blue & green books) when I come back on Sunday Oct. 16th.
Only problem was that the bike was dropped at the shop before I came to see it, a good dent on the tank. The boss assured me he already ordered a new one to be fitted before I come back next Sunday. Needless to say, I thoroughly inspected the bike for other marks, but everything seem ok.

About the rust, I'll take extra precaution at this and try to keep it dry as much as possible. I never pressure-wash any vehicle, only sponge and water. It also allows you to check all your bike for problems or loose stuff.

So, if everything goes according to the plan, I should join you guys in the YBR 250 club next Sunday !

Cheers,

Fred
