So im not sure what causes this, but ever 2-3 weeks I notice what looks like water stains on my left airscoop. A rag and some rubbing alc is the only thing that iv found that can take it off. Anyone else had this? it doesnt really rain here at all in the summer, and everytime I wash my bike I dry it so im a bit confused

if it's fuel that you dropped ones, the spot could be returning thanks to the sun?

Once you get water spots/or stains from fuel on plastic like that they can be a real pain to get out.  also using the rubbing alcohol is not a good choice, that is going to cause the color on your plastic to fade out really fast.  best bet is to get a good plastic cleaner like the novus spray.

Try armor-all ( or something similar ) over it and see if she returns
