G'day guys,

did a search but couldnt find anything - I am thinking about using some of the aerosol decarb spray on my bike (RVF) given that it's over 20 years old i'm sure that it has some carbon buildup.

I have heard stories where carbon was removed that was creating a makeshift seal (on other vehicles) by using these sprays but these are few and far between. My RVF is in great condition with low mileage but I thought that when I have the carbs off next it might be worth spraying some into the inlet ports on the head (not directly into the carbs as they will be cleaned separately).

Has anybody had any experience with using these on their VFR/RVF?
If so how did you go?
Any issues/downsides or was it all positive?

The product that I am talking about is here:

If it is working fine - I'd leave it...

id agree with the above, vfr400s burn very clean unless there is a problem.

ive stirpped a few high mile motors to find spotless pistons and internals.

i wouldnt mess with it unless there is a specific issue you think is caused by carbon buildup. different story if were talkinga bout a side-valve lawnmower but i think youll be ok without it.

anytime a vfr is making enough carbon to need a de-coke it is usually far beyond anything in a can
