I figure my nearly 12 year old bike needed its carbs pulled this morning. I have been wanting to see what was in the bowls, and take a gander at improving fuel mileage. I have wrestled with my other valk (99 I/S also) getting nearly 10mpg better fuel mileage.
It took a little bit to get them off, but wasn't impossible.
Anyway, they are off, will look at them later today or tomorrow evening. I am off to a birthday party for one of the nephews!
