OK, you were meticulous in prepping your beloved for winter storage;

Change engine oil - check
Fuel stabilizer - check
Battery tender - check
Lube chain to prevent rusting - check
Cover to keep the dust off - check
Plug exhaust w/ rags  & cover airbox to keep mice out - check
Put up on stands front & rear - check

zzz....

Finally the day has come,  undo everything and go for a nice brisk ride.   Return home and notice oil slung everywhere, WTF?

Oh crap,  forgot to wipe the chain down. Now oil has burnt all over the exhaust header (read udder).

Easy fix! - Easyoff Oven Cleaner.  Just mask off around it and spray,  wait a couple hours and wipe off, viola.  :)
