Title: How to get melted, burned-on nylon off of exhaust? Post by Gyrobob on 11/01/12 at 13:11:00 A some nylon cloth touched the exhaust pipe just after shutting the bike off. There is about 2 sq" of hard black plasticky stuff on the exhaust pipe. What's the best way to get it off without putting any scratches in the chrome? In aircraft where you don't care too much about the appearance of stuff covered up by panels, it is common to heat it up and wipe it off while it is gooey from the heat. I'd rather not do that. Any other ideas? |

I did, it does. Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner. Run the bike for a while, get the exhaust HOT. Old terry cloth towel, wash cloth. Fold it over a few times for insulation, put the goop on, scrub it. Repeat. |

Title: Re: How to get melted, burned-on nylon off of exha Post by Gyrobob on 11/02/12 at 08:31:57 Sorry, it wasn't anywhere near as interesting as black nylon fishnet. My first wife was asking me what I wanted to do with an old USAF flightsuit, as I was getting off the bike. She let it touch the exhaust pipe for about a millisecond. Just an unfortunate, very momentary, accident. I tried rubbing the marks with a cloth, and also with a wadded up paper towel while it was pretty stinkin' hot. Nothing happened other than browning the cloth and paper towel. I guess I'll try the oven cleaner. That's the only thing I haven't tried yet. Thanks for the inputs. |

I thought those flight suits were made from Nomex. They always told us that the Nomex fabric would not melt in a fire, but would instead char to an ash. This way, you'd leave a better looking corpse after a crash..... |

We all hated nomex anyway, because instead of burning off in a fire, it would just get hot, melt, and stick to you,... increasing the damage from the burn. |

Title: Re: How to get melted, burned-on nylon off of exha Post by Steampowered Boy on 11/19/12 at 03:16:20 I had something like this happen and it came right off after an old grizzly biker told me to put a pre-68 penny in a pair of pliers/vicegrips and just scrape it off like a snow scraper. It came off within 10 minutes; i had spent several hours previously with metal polish, steel wool, etc. with no effect. It also took off all the boot scuffs on the pipe. The 68 and earlier penny has a higher copper percentage than later and is softer than the chrome so there were no scratches. |
