Until 2006, most motorcycles were equipped with carburettors – they were cheaper and simpler to produce. If you own such a classic and want to give it a refresh, you've come to the right place!

Your motorcycle is sputtering, running rough, or hard to start? Then a dirty carburetor could be the problem. With this step-by-step guide, you'll get your bike back in top shape:

1.Make sure the fuel tap is closed and carefully disconnect the carburetor from the engine.

2.Open the carburetor and note how everything is assembled. Take photos to keep track of everything later!

3.Use a carburetor cleaner spray and a fine brush to thoroughly clean jets, channels and all components. Stubborn dirt? Ultrasonic cleaning helps!

4.Reassemble the carburetor correctly and make sure that all seals are in good condition.
5.Install the carburetor, adjust it properly, and test whether your bike runs smoothly again.

Pro tip:Always use appropriate tools and work in a clean environment to avoid damage.
