Whilst checking over my bike..... I took the cover off and removed the rubber plug; in doing do i ended up splashing brake fluid everywhere.... Mainly all over my tank and steering dash/bars.
My priority was getting the stuff out my eye..
Then off the bike. I noticed the my front tyre is now COVERED in the stuff and i cannot clean it off... Will this cause me some issues? If so, whats the best way to clean it off?

Cheers

It will royally feck your paintwork up, get it washed off ASAP.

The tyre will wash up fine, brake fluid is a paintstripper though.
