shercoman2k8 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 4th gear, high rev run over rough terrain... The combination between vibration and heat should loosen it up and burn it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take the pipe off and spray the inside with oven cleaner and let it sit overnight. That will loosen the carbon and make it easier to scrape off. Careful though, it's nasty stuff and you'll want to carefully rinse the pipe before scraping and don't get any in your eyes. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubs Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 thanks both i will try the oven cleaner method as the bikes top end is apart at the minute which rules out the rev method,never thought aabout the oven cleaner i used to use it to strip the anodized finish off gsxr frames when building streetfighters,so i know its pretty potent stuff.thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
