Use a Bounce dryer sheet, but don't use too much pressure and keep it really wet.

I lay a wet towel over the bugged areas and come back 5 minutes later and rinse or wipe them away.

Another home remedy is 50/50 water and hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle.

It's expensive, but it really works well.

Here you go 5 pages of suggestions. HDF search function is your friend.

Once you get the bugs off, get a good coating on the paint ceramic or other coating and it will make the bugs come off easy.

I lay a tee shirt across the windshield and fairing, squirt it with water from a spray bottle and just soak it. Leave it for just a few minutes and they all come off. I do this especially if I don’t want to get the whole front end wet or the whole bike wet if it’s otherwise clean except for the bugs.

Original Spirits Spray Polish. Bugs, tar, road grime this stuff is great. You won't want to use anything else to clean your bike.

Thanks!!
