    Carbs on a 450L

    Can I just say pulling the carbs on a 450 are a bear? The Japanese who designed the carb/engine/airbox setup never dreamed that people would actually ever want to pull the carbs off to clean them.

    There is an engineer somewhere laughing his arse off about how hard he made removing these carbs!

      remove the front section (IF YOURS IS LIKE THIS???)from the rear fender.. that way the airbox wil slide back farther!

        I'll keep that in mind for next time. It didn't dawn on us to disassemble part of the fender too.

          Rumour has it Suzuki handed the engineer an airbox and said "design me a bike for this"...
