John, Sounds allmost like the enrichner(choke) isn't closeing fully. Inspect that first. The linkage accross the carbs is pretty thin and can bend easy if not...

This is an appropriate time to mention that bags (hard panniers) frequently detach even when locked down. I never got round to including it in the FAQ (I don't...

Jon, Yea, does sound like a carb prob. Coils are weired when they go. But you do get a definite missfire out of them. Usually lower rpm's, but get's worse when...
... The valves were done not too long ago by the previous owner - he is meticulous and thorough so I have no reason to doubt the accuracy. Also, the intake...

Your pilot jets are buggered. Take the carbs off, remove the bowls and find the tiny jet recessed in a tube and remove it. Hard to clean as the orifice is so...

Could you have a vacuum leak at one of the carb boots? I think the way to diagnose that is by spraying wd40 on the rubbers and listening for an RPM change. A...

I got my hands on a set of hayabusa calipers + new pads that I want to install on my 96 BBBB this week end. I figure I will have to replace the banjo bolt...
Hi Guy, I changed my front sprocket last Saturday. I didn't drain the oil. I put a piece of wood 3/4 inch on the left side of the center stand. I got lucky and...
