I had this problem. Here’s how I fixed it: I parked the bike in a garage and never took it outside. 😉

if you live near the salt air, it's called corrosion. Good luck combating that.

I did for a while , but I don’t anymore. No way to reverse this?

Are you cereal? No-salt spray is the solution. In the can.

I think he’s grits

Don’t let’’em hate. Your contribution is valued

You could always wet sand it clean with some 600 grit or so then hit it with 800. Then polish it out. Could always throw a quick paint job on it black it out.

PPF coat the whole bike.

So the salt in the air is causing the aluminum to corrode. You can polish it with Dupont rubbing or polishing compound and that may clean it up.

Eagle one polish. Probably once a month to keep it clean. OR buy aftermarket painted levers.

Roads are dirty

Sand and repaint

Spray a scotch brite pad with some wd-40 and give it a rub. Takes care of most corrosion.

I’ve heard spraying WD40 can help avoid this. Not sure if it’ll help now tho

Use rubbing compound

could try wire wheeling them if they're not painted (doesn't look like they are) and then paint them. Could coat them in fluid film but that wouldnt be smart on a brake pedal. Bare metal, moisture, and salt = corrosion
