Melted junk on pipes remedy
I saw a post where some guy was having trouble getting melted tennis shoe off his pipes. He let a buddy talk him into using oven cleaner on the pipes. Needless to say it went on other parts and now he’s got problems. I thought that I would share a trick that I thought up and use from time to time. Maybe it’s not new, but I’ve never heard anyone else recommend it. I warm the bike up and then I wad aluminum foil about the size of a golf ball and scrape the gunk off. The aluminum is harder than the melted plastic and softer than the chrome. It works like a charm for me. Try it in a hidden area first to be sure. Hope this is useful info. BB

"Thats interesting because I know crumpled up foil does a better job of cleaning a grill grate than a grill brush, so That makes sense to me. Thanks for the tip."
Try putting sheets of Alum foil across the grates, close the lid, turn up the heat to Max, for approx 15 mins. it turns the grease into powder, this right from Weber site on how to clean the grill ! it works !
