I get my purple power from Wal-Mart in the automotive section.

Anyone ever tried S100? Its a cleaner that they sell in Harley shops. I never had a chance to use it on my dirt bike, but it works wonders on my Mom's Hog and on my gas powered R/C truck as long as I dont let the grease and grime build up too long. After hosing off the mud chunks and majority of dirt, you just spray it on, then hose it off.

I use straight Simple Green . Spray it on a dry bike, let it soak in for a few and hose it off with garden hose and nozel. Works great and is biodegradable. Little tough on some polished aluminum, but hasn't bothered the polished rims on my '03 KX500 rims or the swing arm.

Big green has only seen a power washer 2 or 3 times, as power washers not only push water into your bearings, it will also wash past the seals on your O-ring chain. As a result, I use a brush, bucket of water, and garden hose. Takes longer, but my chains and bearings last a long time. After washing, I spray the chain with a liberal amount of WD40.
