    Get it running right before you make any drastic changes.

    Where are you located? (That's not a USA-spec 650 Seca.)

    I was thinking Canadian model, but I missed the oil cooler the first time. I didn't think the Canucks got the oil cooler.

    Nice Ducati, BTW

    take a piece of aluminum foil and ball it up and take it to the surface you wish to "polish" and rub it back and forth this is good for removing SMALL amounts of surface rust anything that looks more like a boat anchor then a motorcycle wont be saved by that lol.
