      Warning - Brake Cleaner! 
  Caught this off one of the American Ducati sites:
 
 It would appear that if one is using aerosol brake cleaner near hot parts of ones bike, one of the by products of this stuff hitting very hot surfaces is Posgene gas!
 
 So what  - you might say!
 
 Well apparently this stuff is more than a little lethal - it can kill.  Seems the Germans used this stuff in the 1st World War to try and gas the allied troops in the trench  on the other side of the battlefield.
 
 I for one have no intention of trying it out!  The remedy, easy work in a well ventilated space and stay away from hot motorcycle parts!
