I personally have used seafoam in my tank since I've had my bike and never had to clean the carbs. I'm sure they probably need cleaned but I use a whole can every year. Usually pour about half in the tank on my first fill up of the new riding year then the second half when I put it in storage. Its worked for me so far and I've had it over 6 years

 

I sea foam my bike once a month. And always run the bike to warm at least once a month throughout the non riding season.
This keeps fresh fuel in the bowels and prevents carb fouling.
As to mods: I'm the poster child for mods.
