If I lived in Hawaii, my bike would not sit for 4 months at one time.
sigh..yeah, and it's still sitting, i got it running so I could send the guy the carbs since he had already paid me half of the money to hold them for him, and since they had sat for 4 months I didn't want to send them to him if they needed a cleaning or syncing, they were fine when i cranked it, so i pulled them off and sent them. That was over a month ago. My safety inspection is still expired and i still have to put the fork seals on it, make a slim LED light for the license plate light, fix my turn signal, unlock my fuel pump, since it froze from accidentally connecting the wires backwards, fix the rear brake switch as the wires have twisted somehow and I think a wire broke, reroute the cooling tubes to make room for the YZF carbs, put the carbs on, make the stock airbox fit under my R6 tank...ugh. All simple stuff that just takes time and a little money, both of which I don't have. The only thing I have to buy is the seals and even though the seals are $35 or whatever, then the price of fork oil. I haven't done the other little stuff because..basically, what's the rush. I have the time today, but i'm sitting on my butt..actually, i'm going outside now to do some little stuff and see what all i can get accomplished. You've motivated me..
. Still need to get money to buy seals though..
It has been colder than usual here, and since i'm acclimated to the weather, it feels really chilly. So I would be really cold on the bike.
It was having a issue with idle and the number one cylinder. I took the carbs off and cleaned them with carb cleaner, I used the seafoam stuff, changed the fuel filter, replaced the plugs and nothing. So this week I took the carbs completely apart 
and dipped them in "chem dip" carb parts cleaner, and what do you know, I was able to get here to run. 
All I have to do now is sync the carbs. I will make a short photo video of taking them apart so if anyone else would like to use it as a reference. Thanks for everyones input on the issue. CAD600 recommended electrical contact cleaner for the plastic parts, which worked great. (4.00 a can).
enjoy the ride
