Pipe cleaner

Careful you don't stick your own pipe to the exhausts if you're wandering about naked.

 

I did this the other week by mistake, after a week or so of riding it's all mostly burnt off by itself. I'll try this Autosol for the rest of it.

 

Haha

 

I was working on my Bandit while warming up my America a few weeks ago. After a while I detected a burning smell that turned out to be my fleece on the America downpipe. Black burnt plastic all down the pipe. Once the pipe went cold it came off easily with a super sharp wood chisel.

 

Ditto !

 

Was in Halfrauds this morning so picked some Autosol up to clean the rest of the burnt crap off the pipe. Only gave it a quick blast and seemed to do the job.

 

Or baking soda mixed with cheap toothpaste is a mild abrasive.

 

30p tube of Tesco toothpaste, teaspoon of baking soda, spend the change down Wetherspoons. Sorted.

 

On my Dad's side, Ayrshire and Yorkshire, so both pockets are longer than my arms.

 

They sell this stuff stateside called Goo Be Gone, lol. Works wonders when the wench you picked up at the bar melts her stripper shoes on your pipe.

 

Another tip that works on less-than-perfect chrome - rub over it with alu baking foil. I saw this tip on the web. I tried it for the first time today and blimey it works.
