Posted October 14, 201212 yr Moderator My coat touch the hot downpipe at Squires and it's still there. tried solvent, wd40 and polish and the bugger won't budge. doing a quick google got me recommendations for soaking in brake fluid, fine wire wool and solvol to scraping with wood/ Its really hard stuff. any one have more ideas?
October 14, 201212 yr Moderator scrape it off then solvol, use a wood chisel and keep the blade flat to the exhaust and it wont dig in and scratch
October 14, 201212 yr Moderator Soften the plastic by getting the exhaust hot. Wood block (not ply) and solvol should do it. any one have more ideas? Oh yeh............................. keep plastics away from hot exhausts.

October 14, 201212 yr Author Moderator I've never burnt my belly on an exhaust and that is heading south! there's time yet!
October 14, 201212 yr Moderator warm it up again before trying to remove it , with heat gun , or run the bike up ,
October 15, 201212 yr Author Moderator id just blow torch it off... but thats just me probably lol on an irreplaceable down pipe, don't think so!
October 15, 201212 yr Had burnt plastic on the dragstar exhaust. Soaked a cloth in Cillit Bang and wrapped it around the pipe, left it to soak for a couple hours, then just scraped off with a piece of hardwood (mahogany/maple etc)
