    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

They come out all the way.

Check out Basecliff's site for a tutorial
Try this, or search for your model.

Only things I wouldn't disassemble are the slides. Pull them out and leave the needles alone. Dip them complete. Everything else comes off.

I don't dip em at all. Just clean em with carb cleaner and a rag.
 
I'd recommend a carb dip. I recently took part my carbs for the first time since owning this bike. I completely took every possible thing apart, and replaced every oring (from cycleorings.com ). The carb dip I used was:
"Berryman Chem-Dip Carburetor and Parts Cleaner"
I got it from pepboys.
 
I dont dip slides either, as Todd said. Some carb spray in 000 grade steel wool has them spiffy in seconds. Sometimes they are a little stained that wont come out but as long as they are clean you are all good.
