    If it's oil...most likely not. Carb cleaner should have removed oil tho.

    If it's carbon buildup, then yes. Carb cleaner will not remove carbon...

    Your bike fell upside down and continued to run while engine oil drained through the valve cover breather into the airbox which sucked the oil into the combustion chamber.

    Same thing happened to me. Now my airbox has been dripping oil for about 6 months.

    That sounds nasty.
    Kinda sounds like this "dutch oven" maneuver I have heard a married buddy pull on his wife... (pass gass then pull the covers over her head!) :shock: :lol:

    And he's married, and I am not.
    What's wrong with this picture. :lol:
