Just remember that these chemicals will eat up the o rings on your chain. I learned that the hard way. After 20 some years of owning BMWs I bought a VStrom. Gave the bike a good cleaning with Simple Green. A month or so later my chain started kinking with only 7000 miles on it. Puzzle??? until I read up on the new-to me- o ring chains and found that de-greasers, etc will tear up the rings. So it was new sprockets and chain for me and no problems after that. I have a Yamaha FZ1 with 28000 miles on it and original chain.
