Purple Slice helps to keep them from sticking as bad. Dupont teflon wax works too.

I've been using Plexus to clean the bugs and grime off my windshield and bike. Makes easy work of the bugs and does not streak. I discovered this through my dad who was a helicopter pilot. They found that this worked best. Last can I bought was at Cycle Gear. Kind of pricey at $13 a can, but better than anything else I have found.

If the bike is spotlessly clean you are NOT riding. Although, if you trailered the bike it would be covered in bugs too, only not as much.

If you have some good wax on there you should be able to take some Quick detailer spray and wipe them off after each ride. Should only take you about 5 minutes to wipe the forward facing parts of the bike effected by the bugs.

:agree: I have never used anything else 2 clean WhiteStar since I bought it in 2007...Honda spray is the same product...its works on everything, even your helmets face shield. Just make sure you use a clean micro cloth for each part...paint, plastic, wheels, etc.

:agree: I keep a good coat of wax on my 9 and they clean right off for me unless i get lazy and let them bake on in our South Dakota sun!! then It takes a bit more time but not much I use Ice wax from Turtle!! and then inbetween waxes I use Wizard detailing spray!! ausome stuf!!

Did you get your bones installed yet??

Honda's spray works good. I was at the body shop the other day & my friend told me about Lucas Oil Slick Mist. You can get it at the part store $8.00. It will make the bugs come off very easy. I use it on everything. Works great,

 

[Zoom]

I've found the sooner you can get them off the better. I clean mine right after the ride and use either Meguiar's quick detailer or some new Lucas detailer I just bought.

I also quit using micro fiber towels after reading on a detailing website that it will scratch polished aluminum. They recommend using old sweatshirts because of the way the material is woven. And not everything that touches it sticks to it.

Keep the bike waxed and hit it with Pledge before goining on a ride. Works for my neighbor he has a full dressed Harley just sprays the Pledge on a rag quick wipe and down the road he goes.
