How much should it cost to clean motorcycle carburetors, 2007 Kawasaki ninja 250?

I have a Kawasaki Ninja 250ex and need to have the carburetors cleaned. Can anyone tell me roughly how much this should cost. Thanks.|||Jon's estimate is pretty accurate, and should tell you why you need to learn to do your own repairs and maintenance. before you open your wallet, try some yamaha carb cleaner in the float bowls, mixed 50/50 with fresh gasoline. Let it sit overnight, and start it up on the mix. This is what a lot of techs will do, and it will work most of the time. When it does, the tech gets easy money, because he charges you just as if he had stripped the carbs and cleaned them manually.|||It's about $150- $200 depending on the shop, but remember that once they are cleaned and rebuilt (yes...buy the rebuild kits, you might as well if your tearing them down), you still need to have them remounted, synchronized, and tuned, which will run you about another $150 give or take.|||it's been awhile but i'd say about a $100 for the carb cleaning. any parts they need to use is extra. maybe i'd better say it like this.... 2 hours of shop rate whatever the shop you go to charges. it's been like 10 years since i worked in a shop|||do it yourself and spend $7 on a can of carb cleaner... where gloves its really really not that hard to do|||125 for one carb. double that if you have two
