how to remove burnt plastic from exhaust?
Bike looks great but exhaust not so much...I've put it away warm before & the tarp hanging has contacted exhaust so I'm wondering what I might try to get that burnt plastic off? I havent tried anything yet. TIA!Tags: None -

I wouldn't use an abrasive as it will mess up the chrome, try using acetone or cellulose thinners.sigpic
Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.Comment

Get it hot again and scrape it off with a piece of wood, like a cedar shake or something..
Then you can clean up what is left with something that is none abrasiveComment

Harry is on point..but I may add that you scrape toward the center of the spot so as not to spread it even further Let the pipes cool and use some Acetone or MEK. Goona take a lot of elbow grease though.
Was this the cover hitting hot pipes or a rain suit casualty?? just curious.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Thanks guys, I use a tarp as a hanging wall kinda thing & park it next to it. I now let it cool down before bringing in to park.Comment

Oven "easy off" cleaner. Wear rubber gloves, put some Easy Off on a rag, apply to the surface needing to be cleaned.
Then wash with water.
It's easy and works for boot marks, melted plastic, etc.Comment
