There is a product specifically for bug and tar removal, any auto parts store will carry it. It smells just like Kerosene, and I suspect that's all it is. I've used it on my car, and it worked good, but that is not baked on as are your pipes. Let us know what works, good info to know.

Oven cleaner is supposed to be a great product to use on melted on rubber from your boots, but is very caustic. I'm sure it will work, but you may want to try a "weaker" solvent type product before you go to oven cleaner. With oven cleaner, you will want to mask off all other part of the bike to make sure you don't disolve paint etc. A solvent (like kerosene) can be applied with a rag, no worries of getting on other surfaces.

Try some carb cleaner I use it to get boot rubber off and it works almost instantly.
