When I do a good cleaning on carbs, I take them apart. If I can find the rebuild kits, I usually use those. Gaskets, jets, needles etc. It's no big deal, just time consuming and tedious at times. I haven't had to do it with the Bandit since it's fairly new and my primary ride. The older bikes need it done every few years.
Track days at NHIS are strict on safety and bike prep. There are only 2 track days this year. I'd like to take the two day class and do the rookie race to get my license. If I can do this it will be only 4 days of riding. The rest of the time the bike would be at the shop. If I get an FI bike I'm hoping that I can avoid messing with the carbs each spring.
