Default carb cleaner

I have a question that I'm sure has been asked before. Does anyone use carb cleaner in there bikes? My girlfriends Ninja has been sitting for a while due to being preggers. I dont feel like ripping it apart to clean the carbs. Any suggestions on Brand and how much to use?

b12 chemtool is what i use. however if your carbs are really dirty then just running the chemtool in the tank will not fix your problem. the correct way to do it is to take off the carbs and pull the bowl off and clean all the internals of the carbs. i had to do this once to my bike because of dirty fuel, and just running it in the tank did not slove anything.

Cool. I'll give it a try. The bike sat since last September so i'm sure the carb is pretty gummed up.
