| Removing bugs... Didn't want my first thread to start with such a crap question, but this was really getting on my nerves today.. How on earth do you get all of the bug bits out of the front air scoops? I hope that some of you guys (and gals) have an easy solution, as I really didn't enjoy pulling bug mush out with my fingers and using a brush of any kind seemed to push them trough the grilles. To show I don't come empty handed, I thought I'd pass on a life changing piece (if you clean your bike/car regularly). http://www.jantastic.co.uk Search for Virosol, crap name, excellent product. Won't go into a long history, but some guy was buying this stuff bulk from this firm and selling it on the TT owners club web site as a miracle wheel cleaner (with a large mark up of course!). It's non corrosive and excellent at removing oil and grime, but not dead bugs in air scoops, so any advise you have on that is appreciated!!  Oh and I'll see you at the bar...

Bound to, have you seen what Coke does to a penny...... Me, I prefer an old pair of tights and soapy water. her indoors needs to be wearing said tights and have a bucket for the soapy water, then you just put her to work, dead easy!  Seriously, tights are great for removing bugs. but I'm gonna try the coke thing too. |

| Cheers for the great suggestions, I'll have to give a few a try, but the main problem for me is not that they're stuck on, but more that there are piles of the little critters wedged deep in the front scoops and wiping or brushing them with anything just turns the mesh in the scoop into a big tea strainer with mushed bug all over it!  I'm only a border line obsessive compulsive, so I'll have to try to ignore them next time I clean..  Rich |
