I bought a carb cleaning brush set on e-bay and a carb cleaning wire probe set
those tools help immensely ! DO NOT get carb cleaner on the carb rubber parts
keep each carb separate from each other and be careful ! this is delicate work
it will take you all day ! and it's not an easy job.
good luck

Yes, that's my plan for all day tomorrow, although I am a complete noob when it comes to engines, but I have been watching vids on YouTube and have gotten a bit of understanding on removing fairings and carbs etc... I feel like I'd be able to take things apart, it's just knowing where the problem is?
Until I put things back together and go for a ride, I don't know if I fixed the issue or not. Identifying the problem is the challenge as I don't know what I am looking for :/
I should have had pre-ordered things from ebay or something, as if not for tomorrow, I don't know when my next day off work would be. Last resort would be take her to a mechanic. But I'd rather fix her myself (more so far my own enjoyment and the feeling that I fixed things, but if it goes south, then I'd go to a mechanic). Hopefully I will have an update by this time tomorrow,
