July 31, 200818 yr How do you decoke the cylinder head? Is there a chemical cleaner or do you use a fine wet and dry.Thanks in advance
July 31, 200818 yr just give the bike a wee roasting every now and again and you wont need to bother about dekoking it
August 1, 200818 yr Not sure what a "Decoke" is but when I rebuilt my Sherco, I just used hot soapy water and one of those sponges with the green scrubby on one side. Seemed to do an excellent job removing all the black burnt crap from the head and piston. Did take a little elbow grease for the piston.
August 1, 200818 yr Special cleaner "elbow grease"? Well sort of. If you have some HARD carbon buildup, a soft plastic scraper, scothbrite pad, some carby or brake cleaner may all help clean things up! Full synthetic oils help prevent this buildup!
August 1, 200818 yr Copemech is right; a fully synthetic oil makes a huge difference. We have ran our bikes a full season using Redline's 2-stroke racing oil from 50:1 ~ 100:1, and after removing the cylinder head I could wipe what little residue there was out with a shop towel.
