I've gotta post this...
I got home from a fantastic 3000 km trip through all weathers on all sorts of roads to find I'd collected tar spots pretty much all over the bottom half of the bike. No problem to get it off with kerosene, except on the exhaust headers where the greasy shit had cooked on...
I tried a few other things but before I resorted to brute force and steel wool, I checked a few other forums.
Answer: Oven Cleaner. Obvious. Easy. Perfect
(remove exhaust first though, it's fine on chrome, not good for aluminium...)
