Carburetors
How it works
Removing
Time: 30 minutes if you're fast
Instructions:
- Remove Seats
- Remove tank cover
- Remove airbox
- Remove gas tank
- Turn gas tank to the off position.
- Use a pair of pliers to disconnect the fuel line (its red) from the carbs.
:!:Get a cup as some gas will come out of the fuel line. - Remove the fuel valve key. (remove the screw and pull it off)
:!:If you don't do this your tank will get stuck on its way out. - Remove the two tank holders that are bolted into the frame. (you need a 10mm and 12mm socket wrench)
- Carefully pull up on the tank place on the floor.
- Use a 3mm allen key and loosen the intake manifold boots. (go buy a set of allen key socket wrenches as its much easier)
- Remove the choke from the frame.
- Remove the throttle cables from the carbs. pull the throttle to give you some leverage. You will also need a 10mm wrench.
- Now stand over your bike and pull the carbs out. You need to rock them back and forth to get them out.
- There will still be gas in the carbs so you need to empty it. If you go outside and turn them upside down a few times it usually gets everything out.

Idle Adjustment
In this photo, you can clearly see the idle adjust screw - top left. It has the flex area covered in the black plastic sheathing.
*Note: These are Cali carbs and have 2 tubes shown on the right that may or may not be like your bike. I removed and plugged those holes.
Turning the idle adjust screw clockwise will increase idle RPM's and counter clockwise will decrease rpms
