What chemicals do you guys suggest to clean the read of these bikes off? My swingarm and rear wheel is covered in oil/dirt. Any recommendations to make cleaning a little easier? Because car was soap ain't doing it lol

Sometimes I have to use Gunk foaming degreaser. WD40 will remove quit a bit also.

Scrape it off if it is thick, chain lube can get pretty thick at times. Then degrease with a degreaser or brake clean. Fish by washing with soap and water. I usually just use dish soap and hot water.

I've found original Gunk followed by Scrubbing Bubbles. You have to start scrubbing the heavy stuff off mechanically, though. Afterwards, cleaning more often makes it much easier.

Good ol kerosene with brushes and rags will do the trick.

Spray liberally with WD40.  Like buy a gallon jug and a spray bottle and saturate the damn thing.  Simple green works too but don't leave it on too long.

Then rev up the pressure washer and blast away.

Stay away from intake and bearings.

Dry with leaf blower.
