LiftdT4R Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Ok, if you don't allready have a Clymer shop manual, I suggest you get one, it shows you everything in great detail. I'll give you a quick run down, but it is not going to be anywhere as near as helpful as a Clymer. 1- Take off the seat, and silencers 2- Take out the airbox 3- Take out the carbs(unscrew the top caps first, and disconnect the fuel line, make sure the petcock is off) 4- There will be 8 allen head bolts that secure the intake boots to the reed cages to the jugs, take all of them out. 5- The reed cages will slide out, and now you should be able to see the reed petals, there are tiny screws that secure the reed petals to the cages, just remove those, and the petals should come off.(only do this if they are messed up and need to be replaced) 6- when you re-assmeble, I personally would buy 2 new reed gaskets, I know some poeple re-use them, but for $10, I'd rather not. Good luck bro, and like I said before, For $30, I would seriously get a Clymer, if your going to be doing any kind of work on your shee, itis a great idea!

dajogejr Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'd use a thin coat of hi temp RTV on both sides of those gaskets as well. THIN Coat.... There is a user here that posted a link to a free, pdf download of the maual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
