im soooo sorry about so many different threads, I wasn't sure if I should have just had in one, or separate, so I went separate and im sorry. I have been riding for 5 years now.. 2000 sxr 700, as I said in previous threads every fall I take to local mechanic and pay around $200.00 to have carbs cleaned and sled ready to go, I believe he greases my skid for me also, that is a no brainer and I can do myself.. as you know about me I have zero mechanical ability in my body, so even something small like carbs has me frightened to all heck.... but needless to say im gonna follow the pics on the tech page and attempt myself. I had a couple unanswered questions, first when I disconnect the heated carbs im gonna plug with a golf tee, do I have to bleed the coolant system afterwards? and also, if I don't touch the floats is this ok? I don't want to mess with floats.... last question, besides the carbs and greasing up my skid, what other kind of work can a amateur like myself do without getting too involved? I see people clean clutches, I don't know if I want to attempt anything like that as im not skilled enough, does this need to be done? if so how is this done? any quick easy work arounds? any other suggestions? thank you....
