Motorcycle mechanics 101
I guess this is why my big Suzuki has been running like crap since August, isn't there supposed to be a hole in these pilot jets?
     I bet Kyle would know! . |

What kind of problems have you been having specifically? I mean, apart form owning a heavy Suzuki instead of a nice, light, CBR 1000?  Having problems with idling?

Probably made in China!
 What a bummer Neal, surely you can be compensated in some way? Oh btw, stop chewing your nails!

Might be worth checking your needles whilst you have them handy. I have traced
more than one problem engine down to worn needles. The wear can be hard to spot too. *edit* If you are really, really lucky a local mechanic might have a jet-testing box.

Neal is a man after my own heart. Displays his example on top of a box of Winchester ammo!

  Regarding your problem Neal, I never get that. .... Fuel injection!

Thanks, Kyle,good point, I will do that. I'm going to make sure the transfer ports are as clean as possible before putting it back together. Quote:

balanced airflow into the carbs can have a big effect of carb sync as well so make sure both filters are clean and in good condition (im sure you did but i say it anyway just in case it was overlooked) i was told by a very good bike machanic that i trust, that needles wear down very easy and before its enough to be easy to see, it will have already been effecting how the bike has been running for a long time. his advice to me was for the price it costs it makes sense to replace the needles and jets whenever you are having carb issues you cant seem to resolve. he said bad fuel air mixtures are more damaging to a bike engine than dogging it. |

From experience...needles dont wear...they just slide up and down
...what you should make sure of is that the seals ( which look like rubber seats ) are properly sealed...after rebuilding the carbs I would start at closed and open 2 turns then adjust from there...I used to do mine by starting at 2 turns open from close and go 1/4 turns from there....never did the vacuum hose thingy...just by ear like I said earlier..also if the exhaust is modified...I would bump the jets say from 35 to 37 or 38....
