I use chemicals like Goo gone and a hard rubbing by a cloth to take these scuffs off - water won't help much. Protection films are available on 20north.comOriginally posted by killer_instinct View PostComment

Very very important and check with Performance Racing, Munbai. They have very good tank pads especially for Ninja in the range of 1000-1200 bucks...Originally posted by Hyperion View Post
Absolutely, the sides of the tank is more scratch prone. Just after 1000KMs (first service) my tank side got the scratches from my black jeans (without knee armor)Originally posted by bluevolt View Post
You have put the protection films in the right areas... No wonder Mr Prasanna (Bajaj/Kawasaki service engineer) says "Rahul is a Pro"
Spot on..!!! This is the same area where my tank got the scratches... worst than this.... Even I am looking for a permanent solution....Originally posted by killer_instinct View PostComment

Should I try any other terms?
P.S : Is this useful?

i've seen this tank paint problem in my earlier bike, more because i wear my jean religiously (i.e. washing it once in fortnight or month) .. . and i could see a mark of black shade over my bike where ever the jeans made contact
but obliging to my member status 'junior' - i've a similar question -
if you buy a protective film; do you still need a tank pad ?
or
does a tank pad provides protection all over or just the front facing and not on the side bars.
never used them hence curious ?Comment

the TANK PAD just provides protection on the centre of the tank..it is so because when you lean forward and ride your bike, the tank will get scratched with the jackets zipper, so the the tank pad helps in avoiding any scratches on the centre of the tank.Originally posted by blabberash View Posti've seen this tank paint problem in my earlier bike, more because i wear my jean religiously (i.e. washing it once in fortnight or month) .. . and i could see a mark of black shade over my bike where ever the jeans made contact

the side bars can be protected with products specifically made for them!

so if this paint buffing off is an issue.. then its best to put up protective sticker sheet in the generic area where the body touches the bike. Whats wrong with this suddenly i can understand, but im sure people abroad have not reported any such issues. Gotta start searching again!!
