Yes, but I would think... it would probably be easier to handle if the exhaust were already off. You don't really want to drop it and have the exhaust re-aligned to where it won't easily bolt back on to the CT frame. For the carb, it might also be easier to unbolt it and leave it on the throttle cable and just put it out of the way, but you can make that call.

Paved roads, just more needless government spending...
