what are a few good ways to clean my spokes? I was
thinking about fine steel wool or a brillo pad. Do
any of you have any other suggestions?

The stock spokes are plated, steel wool or brillo will remove the
plating and allow them to rust. S100 and a pressure washer works well.

David,
Honda spray cleaner/polish cleans up oily and road-grime covered spokes with spray-on wipe-off ease. No rubbing, no scrubbing, no hose-off. It is the fastest and most effective cleaner for wheels, especially the rear, I have tried.

Why clean your KLR it will lose its character!!
But if you must try Gunk engine cleaner I used it on other bikes I
see no reason why you can't on the KLR

Try a mesh-covered sponge (the open kind, that you can see the sponge
through the mesh) and your favorite cleaner.
