Quick update:
Just been connecting stuff back onto the carbs and reading back through stuff. I realised I overthought the carb removal in the sense that I got the entire carburettor unit out of the bike! This is why I had to disconnect a coolant hose and 2 air hoses!
If I'd have to do it again, I'd know that to replace the carb rubbers, the carbs need to only be disconnected from them, not entirely removed from bike. It did make access to the hex bolts very easy, but was unnecessary.
Glad to have reconnected all the hoses. Next is to reconnect everything and flush cooling system (coz I drained the coolant), radflush the system, then new coolant.
So I'm going to put everything together and take the bike for a ride with radflush in, maybe a 10 minute ride. Drain radflush and then fill with new coolant.
This will finally get me to the carb balancing stage.
