    Its been 18 years since shes ran...

    I want to thank all of you here at gs for helping me finish my bike! I've been working on it for mooooonths and today I finished it...other then painting. My last problem was it only running on one cylinder. And only doing that at full throttle up until it was about out of gas then it'd run fine. I've had this problem along with others yet I'd fix everything else and this was still an issue. Well I want the first person to take off these carbs and unfortunately I've never worked on a 30 year old bike before. So after about 8 months of fixing everything but this problem, I finally was helped by "chuck hahn". The problem was simply the pilot jet plugs! He took the time to read over my thread a few times then said wait! I want to personally thank him and also everyone else that has helped me figure this bike out!
    THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Yes I have. I had an 90 fzr1000 but this thing is way faster then I thought it'd be. Hopefully tomorrow ill get my tag and finish painting my gas tank.

              It sure feels good to bring them back from the dead and enjoy riding them doesn't it?

                Ride it for a few weeks or a month and that should shake the rings plenty to reseat them. Then get her good and warm and do a compression check. Oh and dont smile so much when you ride..keeps the bugs out of your teeth!!!

                  Lol yes it does but ill wear a full face helmet to stop the bugs lol.I drove her to drill this past weekend 120 miles round trip and she did great except she blew a fuse and shut off instently. I got to looking and the r/w g/w and red wires got really hot and turned color going from the stator to the rectifier. I was driving 65 70 when it happen. On the way back I replaced the fuse and took a back road goin about 50mph and she was fine. Nothing blew out or melted. I'm guessing she was putting out to much at high RPM? I'ma reposting this question here shortly.

                    Get a meter and check the voltage AT the battery..directly to the terminals while its idling and then run her up to about 5G and see what that reading is too.

                        The main fuse can blow from under-charging. If the R/R is providing nothing, then the bike must draw all of its current from the battery, and the main fuse is not necessarily sized to do that for long. See on the wiring diagram that the main fuse is between the R/R and battery.

                        If nothing else, a full harness connector cleaning is in order.
