I like to know my bikes are running 100% so I'd take the carbs apart and clean everything. I think an afternoon's work for the assurance that it's running at full fitness is worth it and you always learn something doing it. I've ridden a couple of far superior bikes some of them nearly new that in my opinion were running worse that my 20 year old bike. Shitty dragging brakes with no feel, badly adjust clutch cable, flogged chain over due oil but I suppose ignorance is bliss. Nothing beats proper maintenance and doing the job right the first time.
