Cleaning out RG150 exhaust?

[FROSTY]

Whilst the damage to "the" rg 150 is being repaired I thought its time to get the exhaust system cleaned out. Trouble is Im in a "clean" zone so I can't do it here.
Can anyone suggest a place the KNOW will decarbon the exhaust ??

What does "clean zone" mean? You can't use a blowtorch to decarbon it?
What about oven cleaner (or other caustic cleaner)?

What about a hose bro? Not trying to be a smartarse, why won't a rinse out with water do the trick? Excuse my ignorance.

No question asked is stupid dude :niceone:
The crud inside 2 stroke exhausts doesn't just rinse out --its a thick deposit.

Oh yeah, thinking back to the 2 stroke bikes I've owned, I remember now, It's all thick and oily gunk. I've been using 4 strokes for too long, where the carbon is dry and dusty!

why not get some cheap cans of degreaser from repco or supa cheap and soak it in that for a few minutes then wash it out

Go to your local Hardware store and get some 'Wipe-Out' Drain Cleaner. It will have 100% SODIUM HYDROXIDE marked on the container. Also get a couple of pair of gauntlet type plastic gloves. A 500 gram container should be enough to do it six or seven times over should it require it. You will need to plug up one end and stand it vertical then mix up Caustic in plastic 10 litre bucket by stirring carefully with wooden stick....BE VERY CAREFUL dis stuff will burn you if you splash it about. Follow the instructions carefully. Mixing with warm water is best.....carefully pour mixture into upturned chamber.....leave mixture in for approx 6-8 hrs...then rinse out thoroughly with cold water. Dont let mixture contact any surface you value:nono:
Repeat if necessary :niceone: cheers W

invest in a large parts cleaner and degrease it :D

[FROSTY]

its a fair bit er heavier than degreaseer can take off

There are products out there that do the trick, but its expensive and takes over night useally.

The torch up the end of the pipes the easy way.

Make sure you use fresh batteries tho...otherwise you are unlikely to see much :bleh:
Frosty - if making a lot of black smoke is not on (what's wrong with a Sunday?), then I'd agree with soaking it in a caustic solution like Wasp27 said. Afterwards, pour it into a drain that may need a clean out too :niceone:
