I was in a hurry, and I tossed my bike cover on while the pipes were really hot! It melted the material to the exhaust pipe and muffler.
What is the easiest way to remove this melted on mess.
I have tried thinners, and that won't even budge it.
I did read something that said to fire it up and when the pipes get hot it should come off easier.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
