Cleaning

[99YZFR6]

Just curiuos on what you guys found that works the best when it comes to cleaning your bikes.. just curiuos what type of chemicals wouldnt do any damage to the aluminum or fairings.. i want to get rid of sime grime on the rear rim and area near the kick stand.. Armor All works well for the fairings but any safe chemicals out there that wont spot the aluminum case and swingarm? and if at all possible what type of chain cleaner do you guys recommend.. sorry I am asking so many questions but I have gotten hooked on this damn bike I rode a 87 honda cbr hurricane 600 last summer and bought my 99 YZF R6 at the end of the season last year and really want this thing to last me for a while seing it only has 8k on it

I use Honda spray cleaner on my whole bike. Kinda like a cleaner/wax stuff. Cleans grime off, and bug splatters wipe off easily. For cleaning the tougher stuff I use PPG wax and grease remover. It's main purpose is for cleaning stuff before painting.

For cleaning I use Jet A turbine fuel (kerosene) on a warm chain. When I'm ready to clean my chain I'll sump a little fuel from the airplanes tanks at work. Most people just use kerosene since it's readily available and won't harm the seals.
After the chains clean, I make sure its dry and use a spray wax to lube.

I use soap and water to clean the bike and then honda polish. I've used wd40 sprayed on a rag to clean off the rear wheel grime, but make sure you don't get any on the tires.
