Hi, I foolishly put a dust cover over my bike BEFORE it had cooled! I now have baked on cloth material on the down pipes...any ideas on how to remove it without scratching them? Cheers, Wildhenry. |

Get the pipes warm and try giving them a rub with a bit if softwood. A piece of slat from a pallet is just the job. Works well with the aftermath of a cuban heel/forward control combo on Harleys. |

Retard your ignition and go for a spin - it'll burn off
