I am beginning to rebuild my 1993 K75RT after a fire around the throttle body area. You can see the whole story here
http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,11273.0.html.
Here is my plan
Stage 1: Clean up after the fire.
Stage 2: Replace burned Parts
Stage 3: Replace other parts that were needed pre-fire
Stage 1 is beginning.
Any suggestions on what I need to do to clean up after the fire?
My biggest concern is that I'm pretty sure water and fire extinguisher residue got into the engine through the fuel injector holes and possibly through the throttle bodies. The throttle bodies were covered by the air box intake chamber so may not have gotten stuff in it.
Will I have to open up the engine to clean it or will it be enough to just change the oil? (See Pictures)
The rest of the exterior has cleaned up pretty good. I have a small dime size (about 17 mm) white spot on the gas thank that I think I can get some touch up paint to fix. It is located behind the fairing so it won't show.
I appreciate all the help that this great group can provide.
