four or five times a year, I remove the rear footrests and the hugger and wipe off the excess chain oil that has been thrown off during that time. I don't have a gripe with the oil since I've been using for years and still on the same chain and rear sprocket, its just a pain having to do this. I have previously seen the marks on the hugger, but this time I thought Id throw it open for comments as to cause/remedy. The ones on the inside of the hugger look to be created by the rear tyre as there is an edge built up where the tyre would drop off contact. The one on the exterior looks to be caused by contact with the right side tailpipe. I dont really wish to abandon the hugger.
