I decoke/rejuvenate my 14 by periodically riding it over a mountain range in 1st gear and smashing it deep into its rev limiter over and over and over for about an hour. Been doing it for nearly 10 years. Runs like silk. Rages like a bull. I've owned and ridden a lot of motorcycles, and the 14 is the greatest motorcycle ever made IMO.
No one I know here ever does that to anything. All my British repair manuals have instructions to De-Coke. I have done it using automatic transmission fluid. makes big smoke! Your Mothership is beautiful!
To be honest,I could not tell. The uncle of mine who showed me swore by it. Anything that came off the pistons were most likely caught up in the silencer.
Hi Noel, you need a job at the bike shop, we used to do that with the old clunkers but would add a little Mr.Clean, not sure if it helped or not, never did any harm. 100 x 50, 4x2,Hmm been calling them 2x4's my whole life. Good to see you in action.
Hey man you are going back in time.😄 Actually a lot of folk, over here, still refer to that size as "4 x 2" and everyone knows what they are talking about. Thanks for commenting Bob.
I have a K2 14 and I run 99 octane Shell in the UK all the time. I find that I can use less revs to get the same power as on the non-premium stuff. P.s. Beautiful bike. Mine used to be white and blue until it got changed to black :)
Thanks mate. Have sold mine now due to old age, that's me of course, because I sort of loved that bike . Wish I could have kept it in the garage just to look at. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Interesting - some time ago I had a BMW car with a carburettor and it suffered badly with carburettor icing in the Autumn /Winter. So bad I resorted to using Silkolene PST in the Winter. One year I ran it into the Winter without adding PST and it didn't suffer carburettor icing. Contemplating the situation is realised I had changed my petrol brand to Shell V Max which seemed to have additives that cured the problem
I was spraying the water to, hopefully, clean any carbon deposits off the combustion chambers and pistons. I was useing the air to direct the water. Well that was the theory anyway. Thanks for watching old son.
@@MothershipVideos I'd have see it with an endoscope to believe any Carbone got removed in the chambers.. water/alcohol injection over time cleans up chambers & valves.. but over several thou Ks.. head off & tergo strip like new.. 🇳🇿

Mate that seems a bit harsh on the old girl but they are a great bike indeed. Thanks for commenting and ride safe!
Definitely the best way to shorten the life of any motorcycle engine.. bouncing it off the rev limiter for extended durations 😂 well done 👍👍

Cheers Steve. Don't know if it works because I haven't got a bore scope thingy.
cool video, well done
Cheers old chap. Lay off those Irish whiskeys during the day :-D
niceeee
Hey Brad.
Remember doing this on my opel kadett (carb) years ago, Used distilled water.
Did it work?😄Thanks for watching.

Noel this one came up in my recommended video list, you have a ton of views.
Your recommended video list is top notch!😊

Why did you spray water and air in there?

Cool never new you could do that... Now I know.. :)
Channel 33 with Spongie Surely nobody really thinks this decokes an engine!
I love work. I could watch it all day.
Nice one Noel. Never heard of that trick before !!!
You must love watching yourself Marty because I don't think you stuff around much.
Ha ha. Happiness through hard labour Noel !!
I need a video on how to clean injector. Do you have one?
No sorry mate. There must be something on youtube somewhere. Ride safe.
Thanks..
got it sorted. Bike is like new! Wow
Skeptical .. but if there was any carbon coming out of the pipe when you were revving it then maybe it works.
Nope didn't see any. I should have used a bore scope or similar to see any before and after results. Thanks for watching.
I bet that will help decrease the amount of buildup on the throttle blades causing any throttle lag that could happen later..Happy riding
I bet. Doubt it did anything actually but I was bored.
Build-up of what on the throttle blades? Only filtered air goes across them.
really? How does that decoke anything?
Mate I don't know how it works but it does - apparently

@@Errol.C-nz Yep me to. Ride safe.
your lucky you didn't hydraulic a pot(water doesn't compress) ,ever heard of an Italian tune up,go and give it a thrashing
Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe.
This does not work trust me. You need to do the job properly or not at all.
You're probably right Ian. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
