Does anyone out there have any new ideas, solutions, etc to help prevent mud from sticking under your fenders and making you bike go on an extreme weight gain program? I am referring to the real stcky mud that just seems to collect rather that fall off. It comes off only when you scrap it off (or wash it off if you have that luxury at the track - which we don't) after a moto....
-
PAM cooking spray works pretty well. Spray it on when the bike is clean and dry. Mud sticks too it much less.
-
Pam does work good but silicone spray works better-good on your fork legs too.
-
I've been using WD40, but I like the idea of using Pam... I'll to give it a try
-
you can put tape,
under the fender and when its bad pull it off
-
+1 for Silicone spray. :)
-
Scott Summers was experimenting with various solutions back in the 90's.One way he was able to solve the problem was by slipping nylon stockings over his fenders!
-
He eventually turned that into a product I believe he called mud skins.I'm not sure if he still markets them or not.I put a set of his fork braces on my XR and they were high quality and the difference was night and day.If muds an issue,they may be worth tracking down.
Otherwise,try a pair of Sach's pantyhose :D
-
Keeping in mind that you are an expert on the subject, do the nylons go over or under your knee protectors? While we're on the subject, doesn't it get a little "breezy" when you are motoing in your usual attire, a Scottish Kilt? :-*

Nope,riding in my Kilt just attracts the Albertans for some reason ;D
My hose go under my knee protectors of course.I couldn't use them for mud guards like yours as I wear the crotchless variety.I only mention this because I knew you were picturing it anyway :o ;D
-
I just tape ford under the rear fender to prevent mud from sticking :)
-
Hahahaha,who'd a thunk that mud won't stick to an A hole :D
-
I line the underside of my fenders with tape and after the moto just peel and replace.
-
Voila!

.....don't ride in mud. Just a thought.
-
;D that's what i was thinking
-
or you can glue sponge under the fenders
and becouse it's not a hard surface it will fall of
-
I was looking at your pics of the mud on your tires.Silicone spray works good on the tires as well to help stop mud from sticking between the knobs.
-
Thanks guys! I have been at it for years now and the PAM thing is pretty well known. I was wondering if there was anything new out there. Our track becomes a sticky clay pit after it is watered and the weather chooses itself on moto days.... The silicon spray sounds like it is worth a try, but the crotchless nylons are an interesting concept! ;D
-
the best stuff money can buy is SC1. "new bike in a can" smells like candy, lol. it will make 10 y/o plastic look brand new. most guys i know carry it, its a most before a first morning practice or if you anything before moto 4-5. nothing sticks and just give your fender thump and it all falls off. spray your cases, fenders the entire front of the chassis works great, last longer than pam too. try a can you'll love it. and after you wash your bike spray it on your plastics and prepare to be amazed!!!!
-
I had some of that.It's a silicone base and does work very well.The downside is it smells so good I had a hard time not licking the bike after I was done so I stopped using it :-[ :D
-
Is that SC1 stuff safe for use on humans? ;D

Ford,
Don't you know there is lead in your plastics that may kill you. You are not a good role model for kids wanting to get into mini bikes. ;)
-
Interesting,my wife tells me that on a regular basis :D
-
I always soaked my inner fenders with wd40 and scrapped everything with a stick in between moto's.
-
You can take your fenders off when you ride in the mud, then mud won't stick to them

I like this idea, Unless the mud then sticks to your clothes...
-
Mix baby oil with water, around a 40/60 mixture (60% water). I used it on my ATV all the time. Works great and is CHEAP. WD40 isn't friendly to rubber or seals and isn't nearly as cheap (especially when undercoating a big 4X4 quad).
-
Turtle Wax Extreme Tire Shine, it also works well for detailing cables, hoses, rubber dust covers, and makes old plastic look new, however
if you get it on your tire contact surface, seat, grips, foot pegs or any controls it's turns into ice as soon as it gets wet. So spray it on a rag generously and wipe it onto the surfaces you wish to treat. re-apply every 3 washes.
-
I've seen a product at the annual Dealer Expo's that's made just for this. It was called "Mud OFF" and was a specfic type of foam that had almost no weight and wouldn't allow the mud to stick to it. .. therefore keeping the bike from ever accumulating.
