Today I cleaned the jets in a 1985 Nighthawk 650. After sitting for so long the bike didn't idle right and stumbled through till about 3000 rpms. I've cleaned carbs on Nighthawks many times. It's nearly always a pain getting them on and off the bike - specially the 700S. Today I did it different. Had them done in 1 hour - all 4 carbs by using small 'special' screw drivers removing the bowls and jets and cleaning them, reinstalling them with out removing the carbs. Not enough room to do it on the 700S but on the 650 I was able to get my hands in there without too much trouble. Of course this only works if the carbs don't need an overhaul or real cleaning. I knew these carbs were clean and just needed the slow speeds to be cleaned. It worked. Graham
