Melted rubber on pipes..

[SuperiorKolours]

I have something baked onto my pipes behind the foot peg, Im guessing its from the sole of a shoe. Any suggestions for getting it off? I dont want to scuff up the pipe.

if you pipes are chrome , it's very hard to get it off

When I came back from a ride and the pipe was hot, I used a hard plastic ice scraper.
It worked for me.

I had the same thing happen right after I got my bike. I ran the piss out of it and got it real hot. Used a spray on Chrome polish from the Honda shop. As soon as I sprayed it on the hot pipes the rubber or whatever it is hardened up and fell off. Then I could just wipe off the polish. I noticed I had a few specks left over, but with polishing it out over the next week worked great. You can't even tell there was anything there now.

With the pipes cold I used a little Acetone followed up with a chrome polish/wax

I've used CeramaBrite ceramic stovetop cleaner to remove baked on rubber from cold chrome and non-coated stainless (like exhaust) with great results . Works better than any cleaner I've tried ; it's very strong yet gentle enough to not scratch the surface .

Oven cleaner does wonders.Used it a few times..
