Tom is right; all four posts that Basscliff linked to stated how the guy didn't check his oil levels and ran it dry.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Originally posted by Nessism View PostFirst thing I'd do is adjust the valves. Next is to check the carb jetting. The jet numbers must match those in the OEM Suzuki Factory Service Manual unless you changed the air filter box or the exhaust system. If that is the case, the carbs MUST be rejetted or the bike will not run right.Originally posted by tkent02 View PostEd, apparently everything ran fine before being run out of oil.
That won't change the jetting much.
We don't know for a fact that the bike was run out of oil. We just know the oil was not checked and then the bike started to run poorly at some point thereafter. Most likely, the oil level is a little low, then when the bike started to run poorly a mistaken assumption was made connecting the two. Just like assuming the camshafts are worn, which is extremely unlikely.Ed
To measure is to know.

Blaming the cams sounds like Voodoo Mechanics to me.
You'll never fix the problem that way.
I know people that work that way, their wallet is always empty, and their floor is full of brand new parts.
And their car is Still being used as a lawn ornament!
