lewis315r Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi Any tips when it comes to cleaning burn marks off a Raga 2011 front pipe? I've dropped my bike and it landed on my boot! so theres now a black mark along the pipe! Looked into buy a guard but they look awful Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis315r Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Scotch pad and wd40 I use on my bikes. Works a treat. Does it not leave marks on the front pipe? Will give that a try tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goudrons Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 If it's welded on solid, a softer metal (than the exhaust metal) like copper (for stainless) can be used as a scraper. Just flatten an end of a short bit of copper pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis315r Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Use a light pad, spray it with wd40 give it a good going over then wipe all the excess off with a paper towel and wallah. I use a grey pad on my exhausts + swing arm and also do all the frame on my mx bike frames. Just gave one of the bikes a quick going over and heres the difference after 1 minute on a steel exhaust, if you want a nice shine you can use metal polish (Autosol or peek) instead of wd40 and that'll give a nice mirror finish. Cheers for that! Will give it a go, think there would be any difference with my front pipe being titanium?

lewis315r Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) None at all, the front pipe on my sherco factory is titanium and I do the same with that. Used the 250 as an example because the pipe looked rougher on that bike so the difference obviously stands out better. I usually go over the swing arm + exhaust every 3 rides quickly with a pad to keep it looking fresh. Also stops any build up of rust or anything on the front header pipe by doing this. Nothing worse than a scruffy looking bike to me lol Yeah nothing worse! Already had the autosol on the hubs,bash plate and silencer haha Edited June 30, 2015 by lewis315r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
