Degrease the shit out of it making sure to use a scrubbing brush in the tread grooves & then a couple of really good wipes all over with Prepsol (Automotive wax & grease remover)

Top gear, rev limiter burnout. Make sure you wind the throttle all the way to the stop. That should fix it:D

What Turbo said mate - Prepsol, that will get rid of grease for good. Use the cheapshit degreaser to get rid of the bulk first though.

I had the same thing happen earlier this year .... i found the the degreaser and prepsol worked great .. would have tried the burnout option but the oil was on the front [xx(]
I've had no problems at all with it
