RE: How to clean the carbs?????
I would suggest buying a service manual for your bike. That's what I did when I rebuilt my carbs. There are just some things better explaned by reading the manual.

My opinion, all carbs are the same basicallybut require a tweak here and there over the others. I tear my carbs apart and use diesel in my parts washer. I scrub every part.
Then using my manual, would check my float height before reinstalling the carbs. (I am bad at remembering numbers sometimes). Then proceed to a sync check after install.

honestly, carb work and cleaning is not a big deal. The big deal is removing and reinstalling the rack in my opinion.

A Service Manual is essential. Its not hard but its much easier than having to go back to the internet and wait for answers. Also, depending on the number of cylinders, the throttle cable is a PITA to reinstall on a 4 cylinder machine[sm=headbang.gif]
