Posted this in old school section but thinking it's more appropriate here. Any idea if this is fixable without polishing? Just showed up out of nowhere. Tried bronze wool with some wd-40 but it's not removing it.

I buffed it again with the bronze wool and it's not as bad but I can still see it a little. I'll probably just leave it at this point and put away the microscope. Ha! Thanks everyone for the assistance.

Bike is cleaned after every ride. I don't let dirt sit on it overnight. Could it be defective from Yamaha?

Doesn't that remove the clear coat? I don't want a polished frame nor do I want to disassemble the whole bike. Just trying to figure out what it is and how to remove it short of sanding the whole thing down.

I don't think it's dirt. It's like a stain in the aluminum. I'll give it a try on a small area. Thanks

Be careful. One year they had these guys collecting 5 bucks to park in that store just down the road. I told them to f-off because I paid for camper parking and wasn't paying again. Turns out they weren't from the track and we're just scamming people. I found Johnathan and he was like wtf, we aren't charging people to...

I've been there in July and it was awesome but also 95° which isn't my favorite temp to ride. The 5 times I went there this year was always during the week because that's when the weather was best and the track was fine. Yes he doesn't do the whole width of the track but it's so wide to begin...

I heard Tomahawk was also a great track but it's loam and he mixes in wood chips which is not one my favorite terrains to ride on. I plan on hitting it at some point this season just to check it out.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I was at Budds 5 times in January and it was good to great everytime. It's not going to be perfect but what is in January on the northeast? I drive 5 hours to get there so I'd be pissed if it wasn't at the very least decent. You guys should...
