My K is in pieces, what should I clean it with?
« on: May 31, 2012, 02:33:59 PM »
Figured now is the time to shine everything while I have access to all the orifices of my K. It's in pieces on the floor and all I can think about is "how am I supposed to clean around all those sensitive areas like bearings, electrical and such without tearing everything apart piece by piece...too much work." I've used Gunk before but the spray is hard to control and it's real toxic when it splashes back on skin (I should probably be wearing a shirt with sleeves) is there an engine cleaner that is safe to use around wires, exposed bearings or areas that have grease, safely? :beehive: or am I just being lazy?

I use Gunk engine cleaner on the tranny, swing arm, center stand and final drive. (Black)  For the silver drive train on my 94 RS I use cleaner wax.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.
