Default oil on tire?

yesterday without noticing, i parked on fresh oil from some junk car. i think the rear tire was on the oil, because i noticed my rear end sort of drifts side to side when at high speeds.

anyone know how to remove the oil? would brake cleaner be ok

this is on a pilot power, on my f4i.

its been a day, i drove it on dirt(my backyard ), and on dry pavement, and i can kind of still feel it.

Treat it like a new tire. Ride it easy for a while and gradually work in more lean angle. The pavement will scrub the tire for you. Don't make things worse by adding dirt.

You can also try simple green, a brillo pad, and warm water.

Just ride, taking it easy. I've messed up my rear tire more than once when cleaning/lubing the chain or parking in oily spots.

A quick trip to the highway helps clean the tire. Just don't take any corners too fast

One of my co-workers sprung a leak and got oil on the rear tire of his ZX-14. He just rinsed it off with water and rode easy on it till it dried.
