Do not use a pressure washer directly on the Radiator, the fins are fairly delicate.

Impressive results anyway!

dilute a blood stain remover designed for clothes into a trigger spray bottle the wash down and rinse off. that should get rid of any nasty stuff. or try my favourite all time cleaner 'Fenwicks Motorhome Cleaner'. or take it to your local hand car wash and part with some cash to get them to do it.

I'm thinking about lacquering over the whole lot and leaving it as a dire warning to all pigeons.

Couldn't you stencil a pigeon on the fairing like fighter pilot do with kills?

Finally! Someone got it

Take it through a sheep dip, smell can't be much worse.

Water will be enough go remove it and if you have the funds take kit to dry cleaners

All the pigeon came off the bike easily enough with some generic auto shampoo and the occasional squirt of Muc-Off.

Jacket washed used that Nikwax Tech Wash stuff and then sprayed with the proofer. I bought it with the jacket years ago so I'm surprised it's still in the cupboard.

Everything is now squeaky clean and fresh smelling.

I do wonder whether there's any squished pigeon under the petrol tank though... I guess the mechanic will find out at the next service!
