I maybe being completely dense but i have done everything to make this bike run right and it just aint !!!!!!! .Its a zxr400h and im having an issue with the carbs , cleaned them , blown them out , checked and oiled cables ,checked the inlet rubbers (which are fine) , checked float heights ,main and pilot jets (correct sizes) ,adjusted the pilot screws (which were all out half a turn either way) to two and a half turns out from fully in ,air filter is fine , airbox rubbers are a pain to get back in but they're on and good ,diaphragms looked fine and work as they should ,im at a loss .
Symptoms are this ,,,, when bike is on its stand it runs faster than when its stood up , when stood upright it drops by about 300rpm ,also when coming to a stop and pulling the clutch in the engine holds at 2000rpm then drops to tickover ,but because of the side stand tickover being so much higher it means i have to turn it down which then in turn means when its stood upright the tickover is barely ticking over , , , its driving me mad ,, is there something im missing or is there a happy medium ?, bike runs fine on the road , till i come to lights ,pull clutch in and hey its running high , please tell me ive missed something , thanks for any ideas or help , am at the end ov my teather , aint got a garage so am out in the cold doing everything |

Have you tried simply balancing them?!! ... if they are fighting one another then you are going to get some odd idling. ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |

There is the lolly stick method - google it to find the full write-up
The principle is to shove some lolly sticks in the carbs and make sure they start tilting/falling at the same time ... it is simple, and bound not to be as good as a proper vacuum balance, but at this point, you are only really looking at 'there or there abouts' sort of solution ...
Give it a go!!!
There is also the water tube (manometer) method (google that too).  ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |

Old Thread Alert!
