As other have said the carb cleaning is pretty easy. Just take your time and stay organized. I used some egg cartons to keep the little parts seperated and labeled.
When it comes time to remove the floats, be very careful with the float pins. More specifically the float pin posts. They have tendency to break when trying to remove the pins. Try to grab the head of the pin with a pair of small pliers or even a pair of small wire cutters. the tutorial says to tap them out, which you may have to do to get the head of pin out enough to grab it. Be very,very,careful when tapping on it. Then grab it and remove carefully.
Other than that it's a matter of organization and taking your time, don't get in a hurry.
It also provides a excellent chance to check the float heights. Mine were 5mm off and was one of the biggest reasons my bike ran like poo-poo when I first got it.
Most of us here have cleaned carbs....if we can, I'm sure you can pull it off.
