phanomenal07 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hey guys I put kerosene in a spray bottle to clean my chain. I now want to use this spray bottle for something else. I wash the bottle and put water in it. I want to use it to spray my windshield and tank fairing after each ride to get all the bugs off is that ok or will the kerosene trace damage my bike?

r1limited Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes clean it with kersone first. You can clean the bottle using 409 and or simple green, but why not just go buy a few bottles what they are like 1.99 and best ?

glockpointer Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Give the bike a spray of water and put paper towels on it for a few mins, the bugs will wipe right off after softening, works on helmet visor while you're at the bar too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh that rule applies to Hondas as it is well know if you wash the dirt and grease off they break and leak “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I cant stand? Dust and dirt in my screw/bolt holes. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life.

A few drops of dish soap, warm water and give it a good shake. Dish soap is a great, mild non-solvent degreaser and rinses away easily. When all odor of kero is gone you'll know it's clean.

I used Ajax with bleach alternative a few days ago to clean the bike and the chain and it cleaned/degreased just fine. It's mild and safe to use on your bike and best of all, it's dirt cheap.

gregjet Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Ajax used to have some nasty abrasives in it. Don't know if it still has but you might want to check. It was originally designed to clean stainless sinks and pots. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
