  1. How-Tos and FAQs
    I cleaned my carburetor and adjusted the main screw 2and a half turns out on my 1999 Kawasaki 800 classic. Which is the way it was originally. But Now it runs sluggish. Either idles too high or too low. The rpm’s come down very slowly. It’s a hassle because I have to take off the carb to adjust it.
  2. Two Wheeled Discussion
    Hello all, I am an utter beginner at bikes but I recently picked up a 95 zx7r that ran but rpms would drop if you did not continuously adjust the choke (i suspected it would die if you continued to adjust the choke to its extent). due to a broken shifter pedal i was not able to attempt a test...

    So I own a zrx1100 I recently rebuilt the carbs and cleaned them, I then installed a DynoJet Stage 3 jet kit as I am running Pod filter and Delkevic full exhaust system. I was using the 132 Main jets in all four carbs and bike ran great. I then added block off plates to my system cause I've...
  5. All Other Models
    I'm a newb so i apologize for getting any information wrong. I've had the bike since 2019. Was told that it needed a new stator or coil packs.

  7. Ninja 250R
    So I recently got a 2010 ninja 250r, and on the ride home from purchasing it it stalled at a few stoplights, but other than that it ran fine. And as the days went on it became more and more hesitant on acceleration. It seemed bogged down so I assumed it was running too rich so of course the...
  8. Ninja 250R
    I have replaced my idle jets and carb bowl seals on my 88-07 Ninja 250, i cleaned out the bowl without removing the floats as they function properly. the reason for removing the carb bowl was to replace my idle jets and i replaced the bowl gaskets that was previously not leaking. i installed the...
  9. Cruiser
    hello all, my girlfriend got her first bike titled above, and we're having issues with the revs. It goes up randomly and the engine starts screaming and sometimes it cant stay on because the revs die down and kill the engine, especially when coming to a stop. carbs are cleaned, fuel flow is...
  10. Ninja 250R
    The bike runs fine when idling and when revved up but if you bog it down like putting it in a high gear and holding the throttle wide open. Or in the case of the video repeatedly revving it off idle. The issue gets worse as the bike warms up. I've been through the carbs 10 times at this point...

The port was totally occluded though, so I ran my carb cleaning brushes and gear...
