Going to service the old girl soon, possibly put a new front tyre on it and make my way back to the PITS one of these days.
But i just wanted to know if you guys had a brand of carby cleaner you could swear by (not at).

Also getting abit of a gargle as i back off the throttle at times. Not always, just around the 5-7k rev mark, any ideas?

Owen, the best Carbie cleaner is a strip down to do it properly, clean all the gunk out & balance them...... will be like a new bike

The cheap Export stuff worked work great the other day when I and Dave#3 was preping Naydeens zzr for say last weekend. Hadnt been started in 12months and when i did ,it ran like crap and wouldnt idle. A little of that stuff and she runs great now. Really strong engine not much you can do to it!!!

yeah i know, ive already pulled the carby from the other bike apart and cleaned it all out and thats where it still is, on the bench. Was looking for a quick and nasty solution to try first.
Dont really have time to be stripping my daily comuter down, and i have no idea, nor the tools to balance them

i have used this stuff from supercheap that u put in with a full tank of fuel, worked fine
but one im really happy with and use occasionally and my bike and car is this motul carby cleaner, you spray a bit into the air intake while it running

i also use this stuff when i dismantle the carbs on my 400 and it cleans em up like new

this is like $19 though so id go with the fuel additive as thats always done the job for me

Cool, thanks guys. Might buy the magic in a can that russ described and the motul brand and set some time aside and do what rob suggested down the track

Autologic is about the best you'll get and doesn't stuff plastic / sensors. Harder to get though.
Nulon in the blue can is the next best ....
Some of the cheaper stuff can actually stuff diaphrams ,O rings , seals etc and best left to cleaning engine parts IMO
