I've taken carbs apart before and cleaned them - I do it just about every day but never on the PC. So I was wondering how hard it is to get to the carbs and remove them from the bike. I just cleaned the carbs on a 2006 Yamaha VStar 650 and it was incredibly easy. I didn't even have to remove them from the bike. I was hoping the PC would be the same .... Graham
