Cleaning the carbs

[sokol]

The time has come for me to clean my carbs on my 1982 gs850g

there is just a few questions I have to confirm before I go ahead and to this job. To be quite honest I am scared to take everything part thinking that maybe I will fu## something up. I'm hoping to adjust the valves at the same time as well as paint the bike another color (from black to maybe a metallic blue)

If I take the carbs apart and clean them will they have to be re-synched ? or should I just do the highest rpm test. Is there anything else major I should do at the same time ? the bike has almost 87000 km's on it.

many thanks

Yes the carbs will have to be synced, the highest rpm test is to fine tune the idle mixture screws. The carb rebuild tutorial is linked in my signature. Just take your time and follow the directions. It's not difficult and nothing to worry about.
