My bike 05xb12 has 5k miles on it. I Took off the air box and looked down into the intake and took pics. Looked like sludge in the intake... Is this a normal amount?? Here is what the intake track looked like. Plus the plugs. Any opinions?


















Thanks

As long as your the HEAD BREATHERS are dumping into the INTAKE you will get this !!!

A "CATCH CONTAINER" eliminates this !!!

Would a shot of intake cleaner be a bad thing in this case? If not what kind?

YOU DO NOT WANT TO SPRAY INTAKE CLEANER INTO THE THROTTLE BODY !!!

YOU DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO FALL INTO THE INTAKE TRACK !!!

The best way is to take the THROTTLE BODY
off to clean it !!!

If you do not take the HEAD BREATHERS and
run them to a "CATCH CONTAINER" this will happen again !!!

LOL I got ya. Do you think this amount of build up is excessive? Will it be ok if I get a can on by the end of the week and leave this in there?
I pretty much decided before I saw your response Im gonna get one. Im caught between a couple differant variations though. I will probaly get the one from KD fabrications. Thanks

Plugs look ok?
