Pour-in carb cleaner just gets dumped into your tank and you ride the tank out and hopefully the stuff that you bought will clean out the problem.

Actually taking off the carb and cleaning it is a little more involved. Let's do the easy stuff first and then move up in difficulty if it need to be done.

Did you buy your bike used? If so, go ahead and take off the air filter side cover and remove the air filter and shake it off and make sure it's not nasty.
That and a good quality pour-in cleaner, as Easy suggested, is a good place to start.

How many miles on the bike? Maybe it's time for a valve adjustment. Not something you'll be doing yourself yet.
