      pour some kerosene on jammed dust and leave for sometime. let it get wet completely first and then brush it.
      if above idea doesnt work, sandblast might help on metal parts, but it will take off colour too.

        Yeah kerosene does work like charm on most places. Though I prefer WD40s, kerosene doesn’t seem to penetrate my idle adjusting ‘stripped’ screw and it still remains stuck in there. I will see to that when I remove throttle body off. For now the swingarm suspension linkages showed improvement.

        See the pic, it was all covered with mud and greasy lumps. Wd40 overnight and cleaning in morning really helped, though major gunk is gone still the ‘sandy’ colour doesn’t seem to go off, I guess will have to live with that.
