Motorcycle Repair: 1980 Suzuki gs550e Carb, suzuki gs550e, carbs


Question
I just bought a 1980 Suzuki 550e, and i need to clean the carbs. Is there a site where i can find info on how to do this. Also can i remove the float bowls while the carbs are still on the bike and clean the float and needle.

Answer
Daniel,
I would recommend getting a shop manual from
repairmanuals.com or such.
You can remove the float bowls on the bike, but it is almost harder than taking off the carbs sometimes.
