I'd try Goo Gone. It gets almost anything sticky off. I'd test it somewhere unseen first, just to be sure it won't discolor the chrome.

I have used carburetor gum-out and 0000 steel wool on cold pipes. I barely dampened a rag with the cleaner, blotted it on, left it on a few seconds, moved it around with the steel wool and then wiped it clean. Takes two or three applications. Sometimes the steel wool was unnecessary. The trick to this is to use it sparingly so as not to damage or discolor anything. I'm sure others here may have better ideas. I was just using what I had on hand.

I like WD-40 or a product called Goof-Off. Be careful with the G-O its really strong

ez off oven cleaner...the one for cold stoves. spray it on cool pipes, let it set overnite, hose it off in the morning............works so far..............

Damn Chuck, what a brilliant idea, and so obvious! I've had trouble with cleaning the aluminum and the carbs recently. The stuff that comes in the S100 kit doesn't work well and left a residue that's difficult to get off. I used some of that metal polish that comes in a soft wool pad today and it helped a bit, but next chance I get I'm going to try oven cleaner. I just know it's going to help, thanks.

One thing, isn't oven cleaner meant for a warm oven, so shouldn't the bike be warm? I do think there's some oven cleaners that are made for cool ovens also.

there are two types.....one for cold, one for warm. the cold works better, and ya dont risk blisters on you!!!!!

Thanks Chuck, I'll let you know how it works out.
