I noticed this a couple of weeks ago when I pulled it out of my garage to wash it. October was the last time I had it out riding, so it sat for a few months until I pulled it out to ride it again. This photo was taken only a few days ago after another wash to it. FYI this is a stone cold pipe in the photo, not hot. What do you reckon this could be from? Corrosion on the pipe? Could this be a warranty issue?
Mine is the same - I've tried cleaning it with 'Wonder Wheels' but it only made a temporary difference.
Yep - just finished replacing the fuel pump seal on my hyper - as per usual with ducati's all the alloy around the fuel pump casting has gone chalky....a good clean out and ive got a good seal now....not to mention the fucking 33 quid for a rubber o-ring!
What product are you guys using or recommend to use on corrosion? I'm also getting corrosion on places around the bike. All this just from one 200+ mile round trip in the rain to London for the MCN bike show a few weeks ago, and now all this corrosion is happening. Even gave it a spray and dry when I got home before putting it up.
If it's like the SS it's a stainless pipe. Bad news is that it's 303 grade, so typically ends up like this. It can be bought back with wire wool / fine wet & dry / autosol, but it's a hell of a lot of work, and will end up the same again.
doesn't surprise me at all...most of my hypers fixings have been replaced. A shed load of powder coating done..its what comes with the territory.
Sorted mine out with autosol. ACF50 seems to keep it looking nice for longer. I just spray the whole bike with it and let it dry
