If your VERY careful, VERY VERY VERY careful you can tape off the surrounding area (to avoid overspray) start the bike for just a minute to warm up the pipes (just hot to the touch is fine) and hit the spot with a little oven cleaner and let it sit for a few minutes, the marks will wipe right off.

I melted part of a nylon winter suit on my pipes, now in the process of applying the third coat of Easy Off oven cleaner and 0000 steel wool. The burnt on nylon is a beeaach! It's going,.....slow but going.
Mission accomplished! All the crud is off my pipes! Took three soakings of easy off and 0000 steel wool. Pressure washed the scooter afterwords and blow dry. She is resting comfortably in the garage.

The Road Rub works on nylon also. My girlfriend laid her jacket on the seat and the sleeve landed on the pipe. Next day it was gone!

Warm your engine up and then spray some Easy Off oven cleaner on a clean white cloth and wipe the boot marks off. If they don't come completely off on the first attempt, repeat until the marks are gone. This also works on melted plastic and melted nylon. Be careful, and don't spray oven cleaner on any painted surfaces.

Try spraying some brake cleaner on it. That usually works pretty good.
