    Not sure if that would work too well... Kerosene and toothbrush/rag or Fluid film

      Kerosene.
      90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

            I really do want to try that fluid film. There is a thread on it somewhere getting really high grades. HD was raving about it.

            For now, diesel and dollar store toothbrushes for me. But, yeah, get kerosene if it's in your area.

                Really? You can get it at pretty much any gas station around here...

                          On the bike. Toss it up the the center stand and clean it as you rotate the rear wheel (by hand, not with the engine running)

                              but then you could clean it in 1/100th of the time

                              Thanks
