    Well, if you are not going to bother telling us what you have done, how are we supposed to know what you might have done wrong?

    Playing "20 questions" is not a fun game while diagnosing a sick bike, especially across an ocean.

    And, if that is, indeed, your bike in the picture, there are several here who will not even start offering suggestions. The fact that you are not anywhere within earshot of them has nothing to do with it, it is the general portrayal of motorcyclists everywhere as people who just don't care about others and say "I am going to do what I want, I don't care about you".
    I ride many bikes.
    Some are even Suzukis. :D

      first thing I noticed is the pod filters and the open headers. Never going to run right with that setup. It will be lean at the low end and fat at the top end. Never ceases to amaze me how people will give up performance for looks.

            Take your time and it right the first time. It makes it much easier.

                So you have the stock airbox set up on and the stock exhaust system? if so that is the best starting point and best chance to get the bike running properly.

                  Atm?
                  There are 1000's of posts in here regarding pods and pipes.
                  Usually they mention not to use the cheap pods you're using and to get proficient at removing and installing the carbs, because your going to do it a lot before you get the jetting right.
                  New intake rubbers?

                    atm = at the moment.
                    its a 4-1 pipe on from motad. so basicly allmost but not rly OEM. but it is suitable.
                    even better thou is i found the problem!!
                    first of all i recleaned as you all said.
                    but then i found my idle speed screw worn out. so when i removed the spring on it and turned it past the bad thread it held up without choke. allthou very high cause im missing alot of thread on the screw.

                    Thank you all for the feedback. its very appreciated, and very helpful

                      My idle speed screw was also worn to the point that it would not hold the threads on the bracket and would slip. I removed the carbs and that bracket and used a pointed punch to peen about 4 or 5 spots all around the threads. That closed up the hole enough that it would hold when adjusting. One tip. If you do this insert the screw and try to adjust the idle while the carb rack is on the bench. Make sure you can get a nice range of movement before you install the rack on the bike.
