Kerosene or Gasoline. Just be careful, and you'll need to re-wax it if there was any on there to begin with.
Edit: Not being similar with KTM450s, is it on plastic? That would be a little harder to remove, and if its something like polyethylene or polystyrene don't use that as it'll dissolve it, then you've got more problems.

Oxygen/Acetylene with a rosebud tip works awesome.

I have heard that a BFH also works well.

some of the above will work, but get messy, try and angle grinder with flapper wheel for more precise and gentle work.

or use a knife to get thick stuff off, and that GOO-GONE to get whats left

Baby seal blood works best. The fresher the better.

before you go out and buy anything, have you tried dawn dish soap? It gets all kinds of gunk of pans might work on sap also.

Has to be clubbed though. Any Canadian can teach you how.

Armor all it.

 

[cleatus92]

good ol' fashioned mayonaise, sounds rediculous but it works. just apply mayo and some elbow grease and sap comes right off.

 

[XgeekstarX]

rubbing alcohol disolves bong resin in a snap and that's some sticky stuff.
