yes! get the haynes manual and the shop guide and do it.
i had to teach myself points and timing in the early 60's because i was a poor
teen struggling to buy parts. it was learn or walk so i learned.
ask here if you get stuck. also check the yahoo or google yamaha groups.
as the ad went, just do it.

Read through this and see if you fell like tackling it...
http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_carbrebuild.htm
It's based of a Suzuki GS, and use Mikuni BS34's (same type as my XS400)
Very similar to the Hitachi's that Yamaha used (and there an guides out
there for them too)... Actually the GS resources page went above and
beyond what you usually need to do. Usually there is no need to separate
the bank... just open and clean one carb at a time and reassemble, then
move on to the next. A bit scary the first time, after that you won't
think twice about it.

and it will open a whole new world for you. imagine not being stamped "chump"
when you need bike repairs. and it will show you that it isn't arcane ritual
but just a method for doing it right.
