Hi all, my next project will be to remove the carbs from the bike so I can clean out 5 years of varnish, since they weren't drained prior to sleeping. I've been studying the service manual, and I think I've got it understood. But one thing would make it so much easier to comprehend. Has anyone made or found a video of someone doing this? I've found plenty of videos taking carbs apart to clean them, but the whole take out of the bike part (starting with a full bike, step one being to remove the seat and gas tank, on page 4-3 *i think*of the service manual)... If nobody can find one, would it interest anyone to make a video of them doing this the next time they do it?! Thanks very much...
Not a video, but here is the correct procedure that I outline on my site. You bike is a 500 but it's the same process. Daugherty Motorsports - V4 Honda Carb Removal and Installation Procedure
I replaced the old intakes (carb insulators) the carbs went back on without using deadly force. Don't pry on the carbs unless you have spares.
