Anyone know the type of plastic used for the fenders and shrouds of the 610? I would like to know so that I can stock some plastic welding rod if these are repairable items. TIA, Y
That would be a good thing to know, see as how I might have to resort to fixing my cracked rear fender. That fender is backordered, so I can't get a new one.
I cracked one of the radiator shrouds on mine and took it to the local plastic repairers, who told me it was POLYPROPELENE and not repairable If anyone finds out otherwise let us know
I am not sure if this will help much but a very talented welder friend of mine said to scrape some shavings off the plastic and light it with a lighter. If it burns completely turns to ash it is PVC, if it melts and turns waxy it is Polypropelene. He said that is how you tell what plastic rod to get. Later,
The fenders have the triangle and PP, which I'm nearly certain is polypro. If it was US it would have the 5 inside the triangle but probably the Euro standard is the PP.
Thanks! Polypropylene is actually repairable. You can use Plastex™ or some welding rod stock and do it.
well this was good timing. Couple weeks ago, front end washed out on a loose corner and I put my 510 down (for the first time of course ) Also cracked a radiator shroud. Nothing I tried held except a zip-tie at the top.......I'll have to give this a try.
