My R1 wont idle now and i think it's more than likely due to the carb jets gumming up again.

What can i clean them with or soak them in to clean them out properly?

Is there a cleaning solvent?

Maybe brake cleaner would do it?

Carb cleaner?? which actualy is exactly the same stuff as brake cleaner only in a different tin

Carb cleaner . The aerosol type is good for spraying down the carbs while the engine is running and for firing on the parts when you disassemble them. From what I can see the main ingredient is acetone so if you get some of that and soak the jets then blow them down it should clean them out. Cellulose thinners might be a good substitute.

I've just got 5litres of Acetone to soak mine in!
