+1 for water, have a CR500 I've done this to a few time, keeping a good bit of throttle in it helps during the cleaning process

That piston looks pretty caked, I'd be worried bout the rings. does it smoke much?

B-12 Chem-Tool. If they still make it, but soaking may be required. It can be added to the gas, worth atry.

Best cleaner I've come across is ATF but you'd need to scrub and wipe

So, I got to thinking about all those carbon chips cutting loose and whicketty whacking round inside the jug until they could find an exhaust; then I got to thinking what that steam might cut loose from my exhaust; then I chickened out and figured I'd try the seafoam first. Parts counter guy swears by it. Two ounces per gallon, he says. Got a seven and a half gallon tank on that bike. So I bought a 16 ounce bottle and dumped it all in there. Being as she gets north of 55 mpg, it may be a week or two before we know. I get ambitious I may take an "after" pic down the plug hole.

After only forty miles, the clack is gone. Course, that might just be seafoam raising my octane. I dunno. Allz I know is, I just ran WFO up the office park road en route to the post office and could not make it clack. This tank has another 300 miles in it, so I'll burn thru all that; then put in fresh without seafoam, and then we will know for sure. If it works, I'll make a before and after picture. If not, then Seafoam does not cure malaria after all, so I try the water diet.
