Proud new owner of a 1999 model and have been on 3-4 rides so far. As I was warming up the bike today I noticed a slight amount of smoke from directly under the engine and crawled around to find the cause. Seemed like there was enough greasy gunk built up around the kick stand area that once the engine heated up that gunk started to melt a bit and smoke. So my question is can I use a degreaser in that area and clean things up to eliminate that lil problem? Sorry for the simple question and I apologize if it's already been covered in here elsewhere. Thanks so much.
