Ready for next step
28 Oct 2019 15:12 - 28 Oct 2019 15:13
Ok guys, thanks to all your help, I'm ready to clean these pistons and get this thing going!
My next question is how should I go about cleaning?? There is a bunch of crap all over and I don't want it all falling into the bottom.
Any advice is ALWAYS appreciated greatly.

You should probably pull the piston wrist pins and remove the pistons. The wrist pins will have a small wire circlip on each end. Remove one ant then tap the pin gently from the opposite side to remove it. Soak the pistons and use an ultrasonic cleaner.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Agree with removing pistons. Be sure to mark them so you know which hole they came from. The cylinders are numbers 1 to 4 from left to right when sitting on the bike.
Carb dip works well to remove carbon and varnish.

Thanks for the help! I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, so I will try the carb dip.
Thanks!

I suggest fill paper in the wholes to avoid less dirt as possible to fall down into the crankcase.
