For those who ride in southern red clay/ dirt:

Anyone know of a good way to remove the red stains that bake onto the metal parts? Engine cleaner?

Other than sand blasting I just learned to live with the shades of orange where it baked on. Pressure washer didn't really help, maybe some light steel wool or a scotchbrite but I wasn't going to that do that after every ride

I tend to favor the green tint from cow pastures

Mine came from that environment, but after a few months of riding in Northern MI and all the power washing, it's gone.

Sorry, no help... I was happy to see it all gone

Well, I’m selling one of the bikes and I want to get the stains off of all the metal before listing it. If I were keeping it I wouldn’t care much about it. I’ll try some engine cleaner and see what happens

Generous applications of simple green before and after.

Copper wire brush did the job very nicely without scuffing the engine case
