Yamaha R6 Exhaust

I just got a 2002 R6. Beautiful bike but the muffler has some staining-looking smudges on them. They don't wash off and they aren't scratches. Any suggestions making it look better besides buying a new muffler. It is the stock, AL muffler.

Thanks for any help

Some metal polish should do the trick Smile

Brasso or whatever it is called, can get it from motor factors, halfords, Homebase...

Um Mr Jamez,
He says Muffler instead of "Can" or "Silencer". He's from the US! Smile

Also I wouldn't use Brasso on aluminium, you'll wear it away! I would try Alu-kleen or something like that, I forget the actual name, but loads of americans from another forum kept reccomending it to me.

Basically, a bit of light metal polish (especially for aluminium) will do the trick. Thumbs Up

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Well Americans can move to Britain you know Razz

Plus Brasso is the only brand I could remember, to me they are all the same and make things shiny Smile

So to summarise, don't listen to me because it's a load of crap..

If your R6 exhaust has not top finish you can use a Red Scotchbrite you will get one in any D.I.Y store or car shop make sure you work it round the exhaust don't scrub it. Once this is done give it a polish with any kind of aluminium polish it will look like new. Thumbs Up
