My "go to" cleaner for anything petroleum based is Gojo creme hand cleaner. Mechanics have used this stuff for years to get grease and grime off their hands. It comes in a 28oz. white plastic tub with blue lettering, and contains NO abrasives. There is an orange version that DOES contain abrasives, and is NOT what you want so be aware of the difference between the two.
When the bike is cool, dab some on the spots to be removed and let sit for a few minutes. The Gojo will soften/dissolve the spots and will wipe off with a rag or paper towel. Thick spots may require a little encouragement to break up with a thumb nail. This stuff is also great for removing adhesives left behind from peeling off various stickers on all sorts of things, aside from being a great mechanics hand cleaner. A tub is usually about $4 at auto supply stores. It will not damage paint, clear coat, plastics, chrome, other metals, or your hands. I even use it to de-grease-de tar the rocker panels on our cars periodically.
