    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Mystery substance on my tank paint

When I came out of work today there was some mystery substance on my tank, like four spots of it. I went to wipe it off and I think it had dissolved my clear coat and softened the paint. :(
I know it wasn't there when I went in to the building and it looks like splash or spray, I am thinking it is brake fluid. :(
I checked my bike and it wasn't from my bike.
I want to know how screwed I am, will the paint ever harden up again?:confused:
 
Did you refuel the bike recently?? Perhaps it's gas ??

Sorry to hear it's messed up your paint...

Bird crap?
I have no idea if softened paint can be salvaged. Maybe one of those car paint chip/detailing shops could give you some direction.
 
I have no idea of what that was on your tank. Sounds like its a respray if the substance is still keeping your paint soft on the tank.

Have you asked a paint specialist?
 
i was taking off my handle bars today and the front brake master reservoir leaked a little dribble on to my 3 day fresh prime paint job on my gas tank. it immediately discolored the primer and goo'ed it up a small amount until i got it wiped down. It could well be brake fluid.

you could try buffing it out or if it comes down to it a new clear coat might be in order.
