Ditto what Indawoods stated.
Also depends somewhat on the oil you run - a number of the synthetic oils do not seem to produce the carbon particles that their dino cousins produce. I find that running a good synthetic oil may leave an spooge covered PV and some spooge coating in my pipe but the carbon build-up that I use to experience in the header area of the pipe and in the spark arrestor just does not happen.

OUCH! That's at least part of the problem I think. That stuff is bad sticky....
But IC is right... the synth stuff doesn't create carbon like the dino stuff since it doesn't have any organic material in it.
If I was you, I'd but some better oil than the Bel-Ray because it gums up the KIPS bad.
Amsoil or Motul would be the way to go.....

I know the Amsoil Interceptor is run at 50:1 and it is what I run. It is made for clean powervalves.
I run the BR8ES as you....
