Simple green works really good but I have switched to mean green. You can get mean green at the dollar store. 1/2 price of the simple green and cleans just as good. Both can stain the alumn if you don't pre-wet the bike.

Motul moto wash. Spray and wash no scrubbing.

Purple power. But don't leave it on too long. I ruined a subframe that way.

PJ1 Spray & Wash and a tooth brush is the ticket.

I spray WD 40 on the greasy stuff to break it down, then pressure wash it. I do this on sticky areas like the carb and the front of the cylinder, but never near the linkage or brakes.
