i would like to spary some carb cleaner into the carb, i took off the air filter, and i want to spary directly into the 4 carbs,.will this clean my carb? or damage my carb? I don't want to take off the carb compelety, it could take 1 week to clean it, i only have few hours each day to work on my bike, any ideal?

it is not going to do the best job cleaning, and could actually dislodge a big piece of junk and make matters worse.
Take them off, take the tops and bottoms off at least and clean them.
You should be able to have the carbs off, cleaned and back on in 3 hours. It's not a big deal
Spraying carb cleaner in them and thinking they are clean just doesn't cut it.

yes, it's fine to spray into the carb
then if there are any accesible areas it would be a good idea to give a rub around with a cloth before the carb cleaner evaporates.
it's ok to clean all 4 at the same time or just 1 at once
(ps don't spray carb cleaner into all 4 carbs then strike the bike up, leave it a couple of mins before starting)

You can but make sure it is running and the back wheel off the ground safely. Spray it in each carb slowly and rev it up as you do so. It won't clean every thing in the carbs but it will remove the gunk and gummy sludge wear the air flows into it.

This won't clean your carbs, if there dirty the dirt is in the tiny holes in the jets, you'll be cleaning the intake tracked with the spray not the float bowl.

Yeah but just put some fuel inj cleaner in the tank-Yeah i know but it works better on carbs than the other stuff
