Welcome!

You will now hear a chorus of:

1. Clean the carbs
2. Replace the intake boot o-rings (if so equipped, which I think it is) and if necessary, replace the intake boots
3. Adjust the valve clearances
4. Check your petcock
5. How is the bike fitted (pods? 4-1?)

For the carbs, there's a guide on the GSR home page. They're not "clean" until they've been dipped overnight and O-rings changed as per that guide. You can get the o-rings to rebuild the carbs, plus the intake boot o-rings and replacement stainless steel screws, from Robert Barr at www.cycleorings.com. Then get float bowl gaskets from z1enterprises or similar.

If you're running pods or a non-stock exhaust then you'll probably have to examine your jetting. How many miles?

BassCliff should be along shortly with your mega-welcome, so check out the top 10 issues because you're sure to be suffering from 2 or 3.

Hmmm, if you're anywhere near central Ohio, sell it to me for $300 and forget you ever saw it.



Seriously, not sure but you've got your hands full on this one.

Good luck.

I'm guessing gunk/rust/swamp things in the petcock and/or fuel tank.

Is the petcock reasonably new and does it still have its fuel filter attached?
