So many folks down with carb trouble...I'm getting paranoid! I know age is a factor for carb problems, but how about mileage? My '05 (bought new in '06) has 40k miles. The worst thing for carbs, sitting around without riding, does not happen to my bike, it's my main set of wheels. So what should I worry about? What can I do to maintain my carbs? When can I expect them to start having issues if I ride the bike just about every day, all year long? I understand that fuel additives will eat up the rubber parts they touch in the carbs. How trash gets into the carbs and how to get it out (and prevent it in the first place) is pretty clear, Connie is slated for a preventative tank treatment of POR-15 this winter, before the tank ever begins to rust, and is already on its second fuel line as the first failed last year and left me hitching a ride. Installing the NAPA fuel filter this week as well. If I don't want to ever have to remove the carbs in the future, what should I do now to keep them good?
