Years ago (waaaay back in early 1980's!!) I remember de-coking one of my 1st bikes with a spray of aerosol down the spark plug holes, replacing the spark plugs the next day and on running the engine a huge amount of carbon / soot came out of the exhaust.
I have a bike in need of a good internal clean out but, am not able to dismantle it so I'm hoping this "magic stuff" rings a bell with someone who knows where I can buy it???
I often use Redex in my fuel to keep the injectors clean but, the engine internals (viewed through the exhaust port) look way too sooty for my liking.
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Steve

PS
I'm in the UK, so USA products probably won't help as carriers aren't keen on sending this kind of stuff via air mail.
Thanks

Stick with the Redex it works fine, by the way Redex is ATF.If you see soot maybe you are running too rich?

Yamaha sells a de-carbon type fluid. I couldn't find it on the Yamaha site.
Go to your local Yamaha dealer, they'll have it.
Another trick - while the engine is running, spray water into the intake manifold. It works. Use an empty spray
bottle (like Windex, etc)

a helicoil is one way yet a extra suitable fix is to pull the replenish hit upon a fabulous welding save and have them tig the hollow close then re drill and faucet it. it would be like form new.

Chevron Techron is the best thing I've ever found for that.
