Hey Guys,
I know this is slightly off topic since no one's bike has developed enough grease to warrant this yet, but it's bound to happen at some point. How the heck do you degreas aluminum? Every forum post/article I see, has conflicting information out the wazoo.
One person recommends a product, and then the next post has someone with a horror story about said product causing oxidation/etching.
Does anyone know of a good product that is actually safe for degreasing aluminum?

Now that I have all the controls and suspension adjusted to my liking, it is time to start messing with stuff. Here are some of the things I am thinking about.
The tank seam. A popular mod is to add chrome or black car door edge protector to either hide or highlight the seam. I think I might go with the black.
Chain guard. I think a chrome one would be nice, are they available?
Front sprocket cover. I have seen silver ones on the Brit/Aussie version. The jury is still out, but I think it would look nicer if it matched the stator and clutch cover.
Rider pegs. A popular mod on the ZRX is to replace them with modified Buell pegs to make them lower.
Brake pads and stainless brake lines. The stock pads make the front wheel dirty. I liked using the EBC HH Sintered pads on my other bikes with stainless braided lines.
What is on your farkle list?
