Have you tried some good old engine degreaser? This should at least help break the grease so it will be easier to clean/wipe.Danzio wrote:Well the wheels are off the bike to fit some new tyres shortly and im currently cleaning the swingarm as its filthy...

A soft metal cleaning brush and loads of gunk cleaner should do the trick, Parafin is also good for cleaning.
