Title: Cleaning the exhaust pipe
Post by CeliaMarie on 07/15/10 at 15:40:34

Sorry if this has been covered, I did a search, and could not find anything.
I took my textile jacket off and laid it across the back of the seat, and the sleeve melted a bit on the muffler. I scraped most of it off while it was hot, and after it cooled, I used Goof Off. That got even more off. Now I had a dull coating on the muffler. I buy Easy Off oven cleaner, and spray that on the cold muffler. Even more comes off. Then I take a Mr. Clean Magic sponge and start rubbing away at what was left. Looked ok, but still had a very thin coating in spots of what looks like soap scum. I should have left well enough alone. I took the bike for a ride, thinking I'd heat it up, and use the Easy Off again. BAD MOVE. It left tiny spray spots all over the freak'in place, and to top it off, I went to take it off with a microfiber towel, and now the towel melted to it. ARRG!
Does anyone suggest anything? Bleh. :-/

don't do that again... ;D...

Kidding...

Do that again up the point of melting something else on there...
I've used 0000# steel wool, but others will say don't...
I don't listen to others....

You're right.. I WON'T do that again. ;)
Anyway, a cold muffler and more Easy Off took EVERYTHING off this time, including the white spots and haze.
Thanks for quick response!

That's why mine has a BBQ paint colored muffler... hides the crud that gets stuck to it. Or in it, cheap chrome.
