I use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and distilled water in a pump bottle as a glass/chrome cleaner. Leaves no residue. Also works as a good spot cleaner on painted parts, but it will take wax off, so keep that in mind.

I love simple green,(cheaper than S200), spray on damp bike and spray off w/ hose, then leaf blow bike dry and polish w Pledge.
So far this works good. Pledge is great on the saddle bags too.

Can't unscrew the float bowel drain when you have a Baron's PMS. Use a hack saw and cut a screwdriver slot in the head. You can use a long shanked screw driver from the other side of the engine to loosen it.

I keep 2 or 3 of the plastic baby bottles around. They have all the liquid measures stamped into sides. You can use the nipples they usually come with by cutting off ends.

Vacuum hose and drill screw bits for tight spots. Clay bar and Mcguire detail spray makes silky smooth paint. Project cart or Tv tray to keep tools in one spot. A stool instead of the ground jack or not. Carpet runner to put parts you don't want to get messed up. A pipe over a ratchet makes a great breaker bar. Rubber gloves then mechanic gloves to keep hands clean and from getting burned. The best tool is to walk away and then come back if you get in a pickle. If you have to use a wrench and need more leverage place a larger one on the shaft side ways not on the boxed or open end you will mess up your wrench. Liquid before tight bolt grunts. Rounded a bolt use a box wrench and old screw driver. Ok that should do it well backing soda and water will clean corrosion just not on computer components. Vaseline lightly on rubber hoses to help slide them on works for floorboard tabs also.
