I am curious to find out if anyone has a tip on how to remove the cooked on dirt/mud off of the exhaust pipe? I cant seem to find anything that works, any tips much appreciated.
Mean Green degreaser and a pressure washer if it is really caked on there. Where in Atlanta are you located? We ride all around the Jackson area all the time.
I Don't use one( pressure washer). I wash after every ride. I think the OP and myself are talking about some really baked on stuff from muddy water hitting hot exhaust. Mainly on the headpipe area. I'll take a pic next time I'm out there.
spray the pipes with hi heat ceramic paint...the good stuff...not rustoleum....do a few coats..should help with getting mud off....that paint you have to spray on..cook it on with exhaust heat an do again...works good
Here is a pict, a pressure washer doesn't seem to get it off for me... That being said I only use one when I am at a park using it at the washdown area.

Yea thats pretty much baked on. Looks like your engine and coolant/oil lines are discolored as well. Hand scrubbing with ajax might get u some where? Paint scrapper on the exhaust or wire brush.
this on an angle grinder will take it right off. Then repaint the whole exhaust with a high heat glossy finish ceramic paint. Wont stick/bake any more.
And if u note the zip tie, it's because the stupid plastic clip that holds the lower radiator hose in place broke & allowed my hose to ride on my drive shaft chewing it up. I'm fortunate the hose didn't fail on me as I didn't notice it until I was cleaning my bike.
Anyways a quickie to show what a rope can do. I use a cotton rope.
