Hey there fellow kawi riders!
During the engine disassembly of my 04 636, due to shot 3rd gear, I found out that there is a lot of carbon build up on the exhaust side. The valves also have weird white-ish build up on them. As far as the mods go the bike is running only an akrapovič slip on, which has been shortened by one of the previous owners. I have, in the last few months of owning it, seen some carbon "deposit" on the tip of the exhaust, which is easy to wipe off. To my knowledge the ecu hasn't been flashed either. I would very much appreciate any input on this, as I don't want to through the process of replacing the tranny and putting the engine back in, only to realize the engine isn't good anymore.
