How bad is this? 2008 FE 550

Am I asking for something catastrophic with this much carbon build up?

This is looking into the exhaust, I believe in the picture is the tail end of exhaust valves.

Is there anything I can or should do before reassembly? I’m worried if I try to clean it up at all, maybe with a vacuum and/or brake cleaner, it will dislodge something and end up causing more damage.

When I first got the bike I had someone do an oil change and they added too much oil. I road it like that and it started smoking like crazy. It burnt up a lot of excess oil because I caught was was wrong. But that was many hours ago.

WELL WHAT IS NEEDED IS A COMPLETE DE-COKE. (oops!)

but as it isn't going to get it, you need to ride the bike. don't do anything with it on the bike. you have a thing called "little old lady syndrome".

the only way out of LOLS is to give it to a young man. I think you know how the rest goes........ (clue; it's to do with your right hand!)

Is it safe to ride or not? I just want my ******* bike back. I’m tired of repairs and I don’t want to blow it up.

Install the pipes and hit it.
They all look that way after some mileage.
Thanks for the reply Jojo. I’m new to fixing bikes since no one round here will touch a husaberg. I just don’t want to blow up my machine. Haven’t ridden in 2 months due to repairs and it’s killing me. I need to get back on the road
