What ever you use, make sure it does not mark up your plastics or frame, Test it first on unseen places. Dont ask How I know.

Try Maxima CleanUp chain cleaner, it is O-ring safe, so at least it will not eat rubber parts. Just spray it, brush it and rinse with water.

Nice have to see where I can pick some up.

I use it on motorcycle chain and bicycle chain and have good result. Once I sprayed it everywhere on my bicycle around chain and sprockets to cleat it from oil and dirt and I have not noticed any paint damage or discoloration with this product, but anyway be careful with painted surfaces and plastic. Also you have to rinse this product with water, it is will not dry by itself.

I use neutragena acne wash... takes the oils right off.
With micro scrubbing beads lol.
I imagine most solvents are flammable but as the Buell Service Manual states: "Gasoline is EXTREMELY flammable and highly explosive, which could lead to death or serious injury."
Taking care does not prevent accidents and why take risks that have possible dire consequences? Paint thinner, Varsol, even diesel fuel do not have the risks associated with gasoline so I'll say again, never, EVER use gasoline as a solvent!
wish i'd seen your pic before i put the motor back up in the ulysses. I would've painted my rocker box covers, i like that look!If you are rotating the motor already anyway, it's like five more minutes of work to separate the frame from the motor and swingarm. It's well worth the little bit of extra effort to work on something in the open.
