So after parking the bike today, I noticed my headers on the Toce are discolouring a bit, mainly on the front header and right where it connects to the bike. A little 'browning' in some places but right at the start of the header it's gone blue.
As they're polished headers, scotch brite is a no no.
What's the best way to polish them up & get rid of the discolouration?
just use regular Autosol with a rag and some serious elbow grease?
Or do I need a more hardcore metal polish?
Also - is this normal? I thought the bluing on the stock headers occurred mainly due to the fueling. Is the fact mine are turning blue near the engine just a result of heat and use, or should I be concerned?
Could it be related to the fuel I'm using? Ryan recommended I use 98 with the tune but I know he also told others to use 95 so I'm not sure what fuel is best for the FTR.
(note - these are Aussie fuel ratings)
Thanks!
