Hope it all goes well. I'd be suprised if the carbs don't need to be stripped and cleaned.
Carbs off is a pain but easily done. Tank off, airbox cover side panels off. Battery out. Loosen carb rubbers on airbox. Loosen air box mounting bolts. Pull airbox back. Remove fuel line to carbs. Remove coolant hoses from carbs and block them to stop coolant leaking out (small 4mm lines for carb heater circuit.). Loosen inlet rubbers. Prize carbs off head. Remove choke and throttle cables (fiddly). Then feed carbs out from lhs of bike. You have to feed them out a bit first to get the throttle cables off. Might have missed the odd step but haynes manual lists it fairly accurately.
