perce Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 I've found 6 days riding round Scotland has done wonders for de-coking my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colly Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 get a bendy bit of metal and scrape it round the bend, then get a power washer and blast it all out. then make sure all the water is out before you put back on your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 8" to 10" length of twisted steel cable fitted into a drill chuck. Untwist/fray the other end to make a swirling mass of skin/flesh remover and *carefully* insert into the front pipe. Ideally, the pipe should be in a vice so that you don't have to worry about visiting the A&E department of your local hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofasttim Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 A safer method (provided you don't drink the caustic soda) is to pour some caustic soda into the pipe and chuck in some small(ish), sharp(ish) stones, seal the ends and shake like crazy.

bigfoot Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 For Kinell the decoke method of preference appeared to be falling off and leaving the bike spinning round in circles on full throttle for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnied Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Costic soda. Block off one end, pour it in, leave over night Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
