There are 2 separate levels of carb cleaning. The first level is if you have carbs that do work, but you just think they're not the same as before/have lost some performance or smoothness (say, after a winter or other long rest period where the bike sat for awhile). If you just want to try and improve the function a little bit, then using Yamaha Carb Cleaner is suggested. However, as environmental time marches on, the original formula of the Yamaha product is becoming very difficult to find. It most likely isn't made any more. There is a [http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/Maintenance/Y-ACC-CARBC-LE-NR.html Yamaha Carb Cleaner], but it's a water-based product that has been reported to be less effective than the original. And just because the picture at the online store matches the photo below doesn't mean it' the same stuff.
