clean carbs?

I've been told my carbs are foked up by multiple ppl, I've felt bogs at high rpms, and guys who have ridden RR's thier whole lives tell me this bike aint running right for a 1 down 3 up setup.

now Ive been told to pour treatment in the gas, anybody have a good brand in mind and how much?

Also been told to take the tank off and spray carb cleaner in there, can someone clarify on this a bit perhaps?

I suck with a wrench.

Carb cleans

My personal $.02

Go to your local shop and have a professional do it.
Not saying that your wrenching skills are questionable, there is a lot that you can screw up in the carbs if you don't know whats going on.
The floats can become unleveled, you can get something jammed in a small place, and if you need parts your dealer is usually going to have them on hand.
They can also sync the carbs which will also make your bike run better.

Again, just my $.02

Why don't you try servicing them yourself first? Nothing too much -- just clean them out and what not.

If you don't fix it, what's going to happen? You take it to get serviced elsewhere.

Not only do you possibly save money, you learn about the bike.

ummm, dont pour carb cleaner into your gas tank, or any where else for that matter. depending on what you use itll either begin to corode soft rubber seals in your fuel pump, or itll do nothing at all, positive or negative. if you're not confident with disassembling the carbs and cleaning them, defianely take them to your shop and have them do it. if you have one of your buddies do it, compressed air is by far the best cleaner for small parts like jets.
