I've rebuilt that carb twice in the 7 years I've owned it but I do take it apart nearly every year, but if you are having carburetor issues and take it in to a repair shop it's cheaper for them to rebuild it then to take it apart clean it, cross their fingers that it will work find out that it doesn't work right, take it apart a 2nd time and replace jets, I'm cheap, it's a single carb bike that I like because it's super easy to work on.
