How much does it cost to get a ninja 250's carbs cleaned out?

So I%26#039;m looking at buying a 2001 kawasaki ninja 250 to save on gas. They only want $1300 for it and it only has 800 miles. But he only rode it for that much because his wife wouldn%26#039;t ride with him. In any case, it hasn%26#039;t been run in five years, so would this be good to pick up and go get it cleaned out? How much would this cost, and is there any other problems I would run into?





Thanks!





John|||how about learning how to do them yourself? cleaning carburetors are actually quite simple: carb cleaner, rags and elbow grease should do the trick, oh yeah, and simple tools. it%26#039;ll save you some dough and you get to learn more about your bike at the same time





sounds like steal to me and based on the info given, i don%26#039;t think you%26#039;re bound to run into a lot of problems.





have fun!|||If you cant work on motorcycles yourself you arent going to save anything by having one. You will have to replace the back tire at least every 10k miles, dealer will charge you about 250 to do that, those carbs will probably cost you 150-200 I would guess to get rebuilt. Bikes arent cheap like everyone thinks, yes maybe if you can repair it all yourself but not if you have to pay someone to do it.|||Carbs use to be 200 per carb. all fluids need to be changed
