Re: V/R cause rough running engine?
How did you realise your VRR has gone off? Did it fail high or low? Once the engine gets out of low revs, does it pull cleanly to redline? I used this flow chart to figure out it needed to be replaced. http://fzronline.com/wiki/lib/exe/detail.php?id=v-r_trouble_shooting_flow_chart&media=charge.jpg ...

Re: Cleaning my carbs.....ugh.
Lol, kids! Well, it could have been worse right? By the way, I love motion pro Tygon fuel line. My personal favorite. I always order large amounts from HVC cycle they sell it by the foot. Best price I could find so far. haha yeah it could have been considerably worse. At least my bike was still rub...

Re: Cleaning my carbs.....ugh.
Be EXTREMELY careful when tightening Allen screws. Phillips screws were designed with the express purpose of being 'torque fuses', that would strip out before damaging the threads of the item being assembled. The use of brass screws reduces the limit even more. Steel Allen screws will tear the thre...

Re: Cleaning my carbs.....ugh.
Awesome, thank you. Between both of your guys advice I got the carb sittin on my makeshift tableJasonRDfan wrote:I see in the picture you had the throttle cable unbolted.

Re: Cleaning my carbs.....ugh.
Man, I wished I lived close I could have helped you. It really could have been so much easier :) Awesome job trying to do the work yourself. That's how you learn. Books can only teach so much, you need to wrench to truly understand and get the hang of it. Also thanks for sharing :) Those throttle c...

Cleaning my carbs.....ugh.
Well I bought by 89 FZR 600 three days ago and on the second day I noticed that it seemed to be running rough. Well today it was running pretty bad, she was lurching bad through the whole powerband and sometimes she had a pretty wicked backfire fit. I called a shop to see what it would run for a cle...
