Pull the throttle cables
Pull the choke cables
pull the tank, some EPA and carbs
Pull the vacuum springs, and slides
Change out the needles
Re-assemble that...
Drill out the air/fuel mixture screw cap
Drop the bowl
Pull the floats, inspect the float vlv and change the main jet
Reassemble the carbs
Put them back in and start hooking everything back up
Looking good... starts and runs, but carbs need to be sync'ed

Changed the diff oil... super easy.
pull the front wheel
Pull the forks.
Change the oil on the forks, and re-assemble the bike... YEAH!
