Default mold release cleaner?

Anyone heard of a good way to remove mold release agent? I've heard that goo-b-gone works, just wondering what others do. I had a few close calls over the course of my first few rides last time I changed tires an dont want a repeat

Slow cautious riding for the first few miles.

Or a lap at the track... that's what I did.

I have to agree...besides I've never actually SEEN anything on a tire. They're just really,really smooth at first...

Yeah, just take it easy for the first 50 miles or so and you'll be fine. Be smooth, and most importantly be progressive in your lean, don't go for full on cranked over cornering, slowly increase lean angle to slowly scrub off small portions of the release agent.

Let someone with a motard ride it around the block! No really don't put any chemicals on your tires its a bad idea.
