We AR Owners don't mind sharing this site with other classy birds.. If only their owners would share their bikes it could be more cosmopolitan on here

I couldn't agree more, there are several of mine on here, anything particular you'd like to see, I'm a very shy person |

I had to knock the petrol cap open through petrol tap hole.
They said the tank might need cleaning out, 
I am using the electrical process which I have done before on my r1z with great success.
nice.
I have cleaned the carb out and it fired up 4th kick. |

I've always fancied trying the elect method for tank cleaning, but mostly done it with vinegar.
In the tank pic, is the positive cable in the solution, as I thought it should be the other way round?? |

Lots of people on here with similar problems, can we persuade you to do a little article in the Technical section explaining how to do it please ?  |

| I hope the tank is ok. They do rot on them and good replacements are virtually impossible to get. |

| I have followed the instructions out of practical sportsbike mag, remove fuel tap and wash out petrol, block fuel tap hole with blue tack, mix soda crystals with hot water in a bucket and fill tank with mixture. Put negative connection from 12v battery to body of tank then using a mild steel or iron rod submerge into filler neck of tank insulated from tank. connect battery charger to battery and let it fizz for 2 - 3 days. The sdr tank is really bad so I am on the third cycle. As you can see with carb, the petrol has turned to tar, all the inside of the tank is like that and is shiny under the crap. |

This is the result after 8hours.
No I didnt get caught short in the garage after a night on the curry this is what came out of the tank with the power wash.
Didnt notice this till the other night,looks like it had a rack welded on to the subframe,notice how clean it is under there.
