    Hydrochloric acid - but this is quite hard to come by...

    Best bet is battery acid, it's really cheap, and you'll have some close to
    hand.

    PS Usual disclaimers apply (there are a few people I know who'd actually try
    this!)

    Stick a towel in a bucket of hot water then drape it over the offending
    area. Find something else to do for an hour, then remove towel & said
    bugs will wash off easily.

    Better still, drape the towel over the fairing and the bucket, with a
    little Olbas Oil in the water. Get your bike to inhale, deeply. This
    clears the airbox and the pores at the same time.

    No it's not. I've bought some Muc-Off for the mtb so going to give
    that a go on the GSXR. It can be bought in bulk so works out a good
    bit cheaper.

    What he said... get a kitchen paper towel or some loo paper, soak
    well, apply to the offending area and leave there for 10 to 20 mins,
    wipe off... job done... :)
