    Default 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.

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

    .... 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
