hey what's up YouTube now it might look a little bit different behind me here
put a workbench back here in the corner and I finally bolted down that vise it
was rolling around on the ground for like three years so nice to finally have
that thing bolted down some more solid alright what I'm working on today I'll
be cleaning up all the hardware from the CFD 50 now I saved all that for last
because it is not much fun and cleaning up bolts but then I remembered I had
that little ultrasonic cleaner that I haven't used in a while so I'm gonna run
all that stuff through the cleaner and see how it turns out for you guys that
haven't seen this ultrasonic cleaner yet just a cheap little Chinese unit off of
Amazon I really haven't used it that much so I can't give a whole lot of
feedback on it so I've got it heated up to 53 degrees Celsius and it's full of
degreaser the degreaser I'm using is called safe to clean when you guys sent
it over for me to test out I believe your name was Cole so I appreciate that
man I haven't had the chance to test it out yet but this is the perfect
opportunity to try it along with the ultrasonic cleaner I know some of you
guys are probably wondering how I organized all the hardware off this bike
so as I was pulling it off I just dropped it into ziplock bags that were
labeled I've got them marked fork from brakes flywheel side the engine subframe
air box intake manifold miscellaneous plastics list goes on and on so just a
simple straightforward way of keeping track of the hardware so the first batch
is gonna be the dirtiest set of hardware just take a look here I'm thinking it's
gonna be rear brakes this stuff is looking kind of nasty no I wish I had a
little basket to drop the stuff in to it before I put it into the cleaner I don't
so it's just gonna have to go straight into the degreaser before I drop it in
though let's take a closer look at this stuff see how dirty it is before I start
cleaning it
all right into the tank they go I'm just gonna set this thing for five minutes
the five minutes is up I'm excited to see how this stuff turned out oh boy
that's pretty impressive stuff actually looks really good definitely exceeded my
expectations all right time for batch number two the stuff in the
miscellaneous bag is pretty disgusting as well I'm gonna drop all this in a
cleaner and let it do its work I am really happy with how this set of parts
turned out as well so I'll be checking back in a minute once I have all this
Hardware cleaned up all right guys I've got all the hardware cleaned up and this
stuff turned out really good pretty stoked with the job that the
ultrasonic cleaner did you will not find a speck of dirt on this stuff
so I was digging around through the bins that this bike came with and I found a
bunch more hardware and the exhaust valve parts so in particular I want to
try running these exhaust spell pieces through the ultrasonic cleaner and see
what the result is right now they're pretty caked in carbon buildup I'm just
gonna dump this whole bin right into the cleaner here and since these parts are
pretty dirty I'm gonna set it for ten minutes
well guys it's the moment of truth really really hoping these exhaust flaps
cleaned up they still got some carbon buildup on it so I might need to give it
a little bit of help and scrape some of this off and run it for another ten
minutes I guess it shouldn't be surprising that the ultrasonic cleaner
didn't rip all this carbon off this stuff is usually stuck on really good
after another ten minutes this is what these parts are looking like for the
most part everything looks pretty good but the exhaust valve flaps still have
some carbon buildup left on them I'm thinking this stuff is this gonna have
to be cleaned up by hand so here is what I'm gonna do with these exhaust valve
flaps got the buffer motor over here with the scotch brite wheel mounted up
on it which these wheels are available over on my website link is down in the
description just gonna buff these things out and see if I can get rid of the rest
of the carbon buildup
the scotch-brite definitely did the trick
something every single one you guys needs if you're gonna be doing any sort
of clean-up on your bike I mean look at this stuff turned out absolutely
beautiful all right I've got one last batch of dirty parts here and then I'm
all done with hardware this stuff is pretty disgusting drop it into the tank
and let it soak for a good 15 or 20 minutes once again the ultrasonic
cleaner pulled through and after 20 minutes this stuff turned out amazing
one last thing just for the heck of it I've got these old bearings and seals
here that are packed in grease gonna run these through the cleaner and put it to
the true test the 20 minutes is up and let's take a peek inside
overall looks like they're pretty clean still some grease inside the bearings of
course but at the very least I think the ultrasonic cleaner loosened that stuff
up and once I hose these parts off should come out a little bit cleaner
pretty impressive results whatever the ultrasonic cleaner didn't remove it at
least loosened up and the rest of the grease came off when I hosed the parts
off with warm water I'm sorry guys I lied to you I said I was done with the
ultrasonic cleaner for today but I have the carburetor off this bike torn apart
right now and I figured while I'm at it why not clean this thing up as well so
the carburetor body only fits halfway into the tank and I don't know if this
is gonna work or not but I'm gonna flip the carburetor around after one run and
see if that does the trick I'm not sure if the ultrasonic cleaner is gonna work
quite as well with the lid off though definitely did not disappoint once again
this carburetor is looking flawless so I've been quite surprised with how well
the ultrasonic cleaner has been working I'll put the link to the exact cleaner I
bought down in the description and if you're gonna buy one please use that
link I really appreciate you all watching the video and stay tuned the
next video coming out within a few days I've got something really cool coming
your way I will see you there take care everyone
you
