Allen - This might sound 'stupid' but it's not - it's real. I'm happy to put in the time to learn (more) all about my bike, but I've never even taken my tank off (yet). I've had my NH750 for about 3 months now and learning more every day. I've read and re-read the Carb Washer Mod instructions/pictures at www.nighthawk750.com - it sounds pretty straight-forward. Could you/would you recommend that a newbie like myself work though this at this point? I'm moderately handy and mechanically-inclined and very meticulous about things. Beyond the pointers highlighted in the instructions - could you offer any additional hints/tricks? Thanks in advance.
(Worse thing for me would be to somehow disable the bike and I can't enjoy it on weekends!)
