Cleaning Your Chain - You want to keep your chain as clean as possible. The best products for cleaning the crap on your chain are Avon products and citrus based spay cleaners. When applying to your chain, make sure you apply to a clean rag and do not spray.

Cleaning Your Exhaust - The best product for cleaning chrome exhausts is oven cleaner. However, if you are not careful and you get oven cleaner on the pain of your bike, it can mess the pain up. So, you should use tape and/or cardboard to mask off any surrounding areas of your exhaust. Apply the oven cleaner with a clean rag and let it sit for 15 minutes. You can use a wooden spoon to remove the junk. You may have to repeat the procedure more than once. When all the dirt is gone, don't forget to wax the exhausts.

Cleaning Your Leather Gear - You can use any leather upholstery cleaner for cleaning the exterior of your leather. For cleaning the inside, use Fabreeze.

Making Zippers Smooth - Does your zipper keep getting caught? Perhaps it just does not go up and down smoothly. Try wiping a small dab of wax up and down the teeth. That will help alleviate the mentioned problems.
