what''s up Guy''s and Gal''s, wanted to get some opinions and see how you guys would handle this, after my last track day I did some work on my bike, oil, filter, bath, lube chain, I used this spray lube (blue label), I think the spray tube may have been clogged and it was shooting out a little on the tire.....now I''m so paranoid that when I hit the corners on my next track day I''m gonna get a big surprise, riding on the street but I really dont ride aggressive on the street at all, I was thinking some mild soap and water, I dont know at this point, I think the demons are in my head and I just need to swap the tire? what do you guy''s think?

next track day is up at pocono, next friday...

It''ll be gone by the time the tires are warmed (2 laps or so). You can try to clean it off with alcohol or something, but I wouldn''t - you''ll just pull some of the natural tire oils out as well. Shouldn''t be a problem as described.

If it bothers you: Soap and Water. Dawn works wonders.
