So, I got talked into showing both the ST4S and the Sprint ST at a bike show the end of the month. The ST4S has a really disgusting buildup of road crud running down the centerline of the belly fairing. What's the best way to get this cleaned up?

I've had good luck with Simple Green to get most of the stuff off. Then a rag sprayed with WD-40 for the stubborn stuff. After this treatment, I'll rewax the belly pan.

Ditto on the Simple Green. Never used the WD40 thing but will give it a shot.

Pretend it's a factory touring stripe!

When I had my ST2, I was a bit anal about stuff. I taped the front surfaces with 3M clear tape, same stuff that you see on car hoods. The vee (cow catcher) piece was definitely covered! Vy easy to clean after that!

Oh, now? I just ride the biatches. (and change their oil)

Remove the fairings, Simple Green followed by WD40 for any chunky bits.

Used S100 years ago on my BMW, but never on that sort of grime. Will give this a shot.
