Engine flush... Can it be done???
Once again I have another question. The last time I changed my oil it was quite dark and dirty. The only problem was that it had only been a coupple of weeks since I had changed it before. The bike had been sitting for quite some time before I took it over but has been ridden for about the last 4 months. Is there any way I can flush the engine like you can do in a car? Or will this destroy, destroy, and destroy some more. Most everything is the same as your car but the whole wet clutch thing scares me when it comes to motor flushing.. Let me know if this has been done before because I have a bit of spare time on my hands while I wait for my new petcock... Thanks, JasonTags: None

screw the flush just drop the oil pan and clean that and the screen with kerosene then just change the oil every 500 miles for the first 1500, you should be fine. after you drop the oil pan you will see how flush won't have even touched that sludge.
