The silencer is then jetted by the hand gun like on to the one end of the opening. This high pressure blasting removes every possible immovable dirt inside the pipe.
After sand blasting you will notice the original color of inner metal show up. The inside surface becomes very rough if you feel it. The muffler and the bend pipe also treated in the same way. The silencer becomes so clean when you fit it back and drive will remind you of the bike's original beat. That would be a music to the ears. Here they charge between Rs. 70-100 depends on the industrial shed in that area.

I had to go that area and went to a mechanic got the silencer removed and took it to the industrial shed near by.

Dont forget to coat the inside of the silencer with oil, before using it. since it might catch rust. Then the oil from the 2t will help coat the inside of the silencer.

Interesting... wish there was some place in Pune that could do this thing. Anyway, thats why its so imp. to use a real good 2t oil. It avoids carbon build up in the 1st place. And the best way to clean it is not to get it dirty in the first place (or at least as less as possible). Thats why a JASO FD oil would be the best thing to use. Also, at least ocasional v fast highway runs will help to keep it clean.

My Shogun has done about 21,000 km. Never been decarbed.
