Definately Kero as it is an oily fluid..... Mix Kero and Diesel at a 40/60 ratio (Kero 60%, Diesel 40%) and you'll have some of the best degreaser you can get.

Baz that mix is fine but I would only use diesel if the chain is off the bike cause if any of that diesel gets on on your tyre you're on your arse!!!stick to kero if thats all you have,rinse well and than go for a spin or run it on your stand long enough to heat the chain up and in the process get rid of the access kero/water ,than lube back up,just a tip rod!!
