Title: cooking a LIKE200iLX
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on September 27, 2019, 01:43:48 PM
Glad to finally get the last of the corrosion protection ACF-50 cooked off my exhaust!
At stop lights it looked to my fellow travelers like I had a small fire in my brake pads or something - and the smell was of baked mice.
Best to just stare off into the distance - and hope this isn't a long light - as you sit on your smoldering scooter.

(I did once try to set fire to my LIKE a few years ago. Left a couple paper towels below my valve cover after a valve lash procedure. The towels caught any oil dropping when I removed the valve cover. A few miles into my next ride I stopped to admire the view, and smelt an oily magazine smoldering, somewhere😊)

All dried...

A little afraid to ask, but how do you what what baked mice smell like?

I can answer that. Have you been to DisneyLand during the fire season?

Obviously you've never spent 9 days without C-Rats on patrol in sunny SE Asia.

Isn't yours a 2012? How long does it take? 😊  This is probably half the reason I'm wearing a mask.

Made in 2012, sold as a 2013.
Smell is gone  after one or two rides.
I put it on every year.
