Bought a 09kx250f project. The metal pipe that goes into the bottom end above the water pump is full of rust and because of that its spread rust throughout t the entire system. The head gasket was leaking so theres also white powder everywhere(mostly in the cylinder). Im going to replace that pipe and rebuild the water pump. I want to run that radiator cleaner through the system to clean it out. You can get it at autozone. I dont really want to split the cases to manually do it. Has anyone used this cleaner before? Any other ideas?
The vinegar should help break most of it up and clean it up due to the acidity.
Are there cooling concerns with vinegar? I was thinking of running the bike and just doing multiple flushes with a cleaner or cheap coolant from azone.
The Shop
'Cooling Concerns'...You may find the boiling point of the mixture decreases by adding vinegar/ bicarb but also this maybe is good, as it may sort of 'boil itself' onto the deposits and help breakdown faster. I mean I probably would not run Vinegar mix with the coolant for too long or too hot but you will see if you reach boiling point by the discharge hose would imagine. As long as you do not belt it for too long and also keep a check on levels etc would think it maybe a great technique for cleaning.
