Moin ief, I do always use Petroleum, it´s pretty cheap and doing a very good job. You also could buy other special cleaner from motorcycle specialsits but they will cost much more I think.regards jbe

<BR>I use "break cleaner" (bad translation); maybe you dutchman know "breekkleen" (or like that); normally it`s used for cleaning disc-brakes and some engine parts. In Germany you can buy a bottle containing
<BR> 20 liters and use a compressor. That`s very cheap and effective. Together with the pressure of the compressor the result is great. I cleaned up my used pistons (52tkm) on my GSX-they look like new ones...

tnx guys,
<BR>
<BR>haven't got a compressor but was thinking more in terms of, laying the enine parts in a "bath" and i think petrolium sounds like the richt right thing then and give it a good scrub afterwards...
