I was wiping the dust off my R3T awhile back and nimble dongers dropped the clpth on his HOT muffler. Ot obviously baked some stuff onto the muffler. I tried everything to polish it out and nothing worked. Mentioned it to a friend who has a motorcycle shop today and he said to take a pre 1962 copper penny (US) on a hot muffler using gloves and gently use the edge to take it off. So wjen I fot home I took an old wheat back penny and trird it on a section.....amazing!!!!! Took it off and no scratches like you would have if gou ised some 000 SOS and toothpaste (another suggestion).
I believe he said it would work on road tar too.
See, an old penny will save you a lot of money.
