Thorby, don't be scared of doing the carbs yourself.  I basically had zero motorcycle knowledge when I bought this bike, and a carb clean/rebuild was the 1st thing I did to it.

It did take me a long time to do though because I took my time (I did it over many nights during the winter).

So if you don't have time, that could certainly be a good reason to get them cleaned by someone else.

For me, it was an invaluable experience and opened up a lot of understanding to me about how my bike worked.
