2016 F3-T foam inside the tupperware

So some of you know that I had a mobile company do an oil change on my bike for the first time and they over filled it by 1 quart. Well, the oil came out of the dipstick and got everywhere. I took the panels off and cleaned everything up as good as I can. But the oil got on the foam insert on the panel. Well, when I ride a long time, the heat from the engine heats the oil from the foam and I can get a faint smell when I turn the engine off. Should I replace this foam? Just take it out?

Advice please?

It's there for noise abatement & insulation. The heat may warp the panel and you might not like the added decibels. Try cleaning it with dish washing liquid soap.

Next time don't have a cell phone company put your oil in. :joke:

Rip the foam out and get some new stick on heat sound deading foam. Wouldn't cost much for that little area.

:agree: .... The stick-on aluminum sided stuff will provide 3 x's sound and heat abatement of the OEM foam ..... However if you want to keep the oem foam ...... I suggest you soak ( ie submerge ) the entire panel in a concentrated solution of water and " Dawn " liquid detergent .... I would soak for an hour, then remove and press out the water , repeat at least 4 times. then rinse and see if it worked ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

:agree: with his agree

Can you guys link me to something that you would feel would work well with my application to replace the OEM crap? I do nto know much about this stuff.
