i had my bike in the shop they didnt pull the carbs and clean them cuz they are not that bad. said an intank claner will fix them up for me.

i usualy use SeaFoam on my Mustang as wel las my Neon and Tarus. I want to use this on the CBR too.

question is do you reccomend something els?

seamfoam works good....but its not a miracle worker...best way to clean carbs is to take them apart...

How can they tell your carbs look good and are clean if they didn''t take them apart? That''s just BS. Until you don''t take them out, open the float chambers, take out the jets and look through them, there''s no way of being 100% positive that there are no excessive deposits...

I dont know, i dont do much if anything on bikes. however they were correct a lil seafoam and not it runs perfectly it seemes.

so no harm no foul either way.
