Cleaning exhaust? - SV650.org

I've got an ART can on my curvy SV and there seems to be a lot of black soot building up in it.

Any tips on cleaning it? I can just wipe the inside of the port with a cloth but is there anything I can do for the insides?

Cheers

sounds like unburnt fuel, do u get a lot of bangs out the can when riding?

you may need to get it setup properly on a dyno

my scorpion has done this and going to try a little WD40 on it when spring comes (try a little section) as i think this may work. or autosol as this works a good polish (doubt its that great at getting the sot off)

errm, they are meant to do that. Its the exhaust gasses that an internal combustion engine creates.

Why would you wanna clean inside your zorst??????

Yes i clean the bit i can see when i clean the can but the thought of cleaning inside the can has never passed my mind.
You may have to repack it at some point so maybe you can give it a damn good clean then.
If you still feel it needs it.
