Grease build-up on kickstand

I have noticed that I get a greasy build-up up on the top of the kickstand that apparently drips down from the front sprocket. I would think this is happening when I lube my chain and the extra fluid slings off. I use PJ1 Blue Label chain lube which I really like its adherence and protection. I don't have any other areas where it slings off to that extent. I was wondering what you all thought:

1st: How should I go about cleaning all the greasy build-up off?
2nd: Should I try a different brand after cleaning?

I don't want this to turn into a chain lube debate or preference thread since it is already posted elsewhere. My main concern is all the gunk that is built up.

Thanks:biggrin:

 

WD40 works great for cleaning that stuff. I'd just watch it next time you lube. My question is how offend do you relube and how much do you use? Doesn't take a lot. I myself do it with the bike on the center stand, start it up put in second gear then spray it on leading inside in front of the rear sprocket. only takes a couple seconds like two revolutions and I'm good for like what seems to be 350-500 miles or every time I adjust the chain, which ever come s first. then I wipe it down with a paper towel by hand to get the extra off, Oh BTW I use chain wax.

 

I use Paslode Pneumatic Tool Degreaser to get that grimy crap off; works great and doesn't leave a residue like WD40 does. Get it at Home Depot for $5/12oz. can.

 

Thanks for the tips boys, I think I'll try the tool degreaser.:biggrin:

 

Finish Line Degreaser. I use it on my bicycle chain and to dewax my skis. It's an orange based cleaner and works great for that. I used it on mine cuz I had the same problem. And tell you wives that it also makes wax spilled on carpet disappear. Just FYI!

 

My wife isn't into that kind of kinky stuff! LOL. And I'm glad about that. Hot wax? OUCH. I'd rather burn my leg on the exhaust pipe.
