Hey guys, I went through some puddles, on the weekend on a 2000 ktm250exc. Some water got past the airbox, and possibly past the carby.
All plastics are off, fuel tank off, carby off and cleaning, reedblock off. I was thinking of doing the following: Please help me!
1. Drain gearbox.
2. Drain radiator.
3. Wrap rags around handlebars as not to scratch them.
4. Tip bike upside down. (like bicycle)
5. Spray degreaser, kerosine, wd40 and Oven Cleaner into cranmkcase hole from reed block.
6. Keep spraying kero, while spinning rear tyre in gear - thus moving the crank
7. Also spray some kerosine and oven cleaner into spark plug hole + exhaust port to clean some carbon deposits and powervalve.
8. Wash everything out with garden hose and turn water off.
9. Spray wd40 into crankcase, exhaust and sparkplug hole, still spining engine.
10. Let sit for maybe 30mins, then lean the bike in different directions to excrete all water. (some will still be left in there)
11. Fill a spray bottle with 2 stroke oil and spray the crankcase heavily, and some into spark plug hole, while spinning engine.
12. Tip bike back how it was.
13. Connect reedblock, carby, airfilter. Also fit exaust back on.
14. Fill radiator, gearbox
15. Put fuel tank back on and connect to carby.
16. Put in new sparkplug.
17. Kick and hope for the best.
OK. that was my method for my last bike (98 Yamaha WR200 - 2stroke)
Does it look OK? Have I forgotten anything?
Is there anything I should be careful of? Anything extra needs doing, while I'm in there?
-cheers guys,
regards, Dmitri.
