Assuming that you'll be doing this yourself, I'd recommend you download
the workshop manual from this site - then go and look for a GSX250F
(Across) manual as the carbs are very similar (and the diagrams in this
manual are a lot better).

Pulling them out of the bike is more difficult than cleaning them - it's
a rather tight squeeze in there.

Once you've got them out, just pull them down (one at a time) and
methodically store all the pieces in separate trays, cleaning them as
you go - just make a mental note (or a digital camera comes in handy) of
where everything goes, and how it goes together.

There are three adjustments on these carbs - Syncing the throttle
between them, needle positions, and air jet positions. You shouldn't
need to touch the carb sync screw (though I recommend syncing them
afterward) or mess with the needle positions. As for the air jets, just
count the number of turns it takes to screw each of them in (softly!),
and set them back to that when you're done.

The rest of the cleaning is just a matter of either soaking the parts in
carb-cleaner, or spraying the passages with carb-cleaner. Everything
should be blown dry with compressed air..


Either that, or you could just take them to a shop to do :)


Did you end up getting exhaust pipes for your bike?
