Well, I tore apart the sled this past weekend to get her ready for the season and what did I find? Enough oil and dirt in the bottom of my belly pan to sink the USS Roosevelt...LOL I guess my pipes lost their seat and decided to make alot of work for me. What do you guys suggest for easiest clean up? A bud suggested to spray it with Ether and blow it out at the quarter wash, what do you think. Sorry no pics, too embarrased to show.
Side note: Is $65.00/ per shock a good price for KYB shock rebuild? This includes parts. That's a quote from Carver Performance.

Ether?!?!?! I wouldn't spray that around anything near your engine, very flamable and very bad on two stroke motors. Simple green works good on that sort of stuff, and then either a power washer or the hand held car wash things work good too. don't use a high pressure and don't go shootin it down the air box and at electrical connections and such like that. may want to use just a stream from a garden hose because power washers like to take all that dirt and "blow it up" and plaster it all over everthing nearby. then you spend the rest of the day gettin it off of everything else. i say simple green and a garde hose, and when most of its gone use one of those twist nozzles.
I just cleaned mine up with ZEP degreaser, picked it up at Home Depot for $8 a gallon. The pan is as clean as could be and I didn't even have to scrub. Just sprayed it on with out diluting onto the dry surface, washed with a strong stream from the hose.

We've been using spray on foaming engine degreaser from O'Rielly Auto Parts for about $2.50. Then spray it off with a garden hose. We normally take off the pipes, air box and carbs then tape everything shut with duct tape. Make sure to cover the timing hole on top the recoil housing. It cleans everything up like new.
Good luck

65 per shosk to rebuild sounds kinda high, Bruce at Pionneer performance will do all 4 with revalving to your weight at riding style for like 170-180.It might be worth asking a few different shock centers
