1996 Kawasaki zx7r issues after plug change

[Joe89]

Hi everyone I’m looking for some help with my bike rather than going to the local rip off garage ..

I’ve had my bike outside over winter it wouldn’t start , cleaned up all the connectors and new battery and it ran but rough

It’s now garaged , cleaned up the connectors even more and done a oil and filter change , then I changed the plugs ..

The 3rd plug was stuck , felt seized so I sprayed some WD down there only a bit , left it 10 mins and then got it out ..

Put the 4 new plugs in ( the old ones was rusted and rotten )

The bike started right up ran better then cut out - it does this when cold and not kept revved up abit ...

So now after cutting out it won’t start , I noticed a pipe off under the air box I must of knocked off when messing with them plugs , I’ve not put it back on with a jubilee clip but still nothing .. it’s got a fully charged battery aswell . Any info would be much appreciated

First off, whats the voltage measured on the battery with a multimeter?

The bike is 24 years old so a rip off garage is out of the question.
Not worth much so sell it for spares and buy another bike.

There's a few keywords in there which set the alarm bells ringing.

First off, where did you source those new plugs? Fakes are now endemic in the marketplace & unless you are very particular where you get them from there is a high probability they're fake.

Standard diags proceedures should automatically kick in. Does the fuel flow? Does it spark? Is it a 'healthy' turnover on the button?

Is it flooded?

Is it fresh petrol?

Check all of those & if all check out fine it's time to distinguish between elektrikal gremlins & fuel fukwittery. Reach for your can of Easystart.

I can bet you £5 that standing outside over winter means the fuel went off & gummed up in your carbs. If the carbs have never been rebuilt since new then all of the internal NBR seals are fubar, the pilots are blocked & the float needles aren't seating.

But then this is the T'internets & it's probably your side stand switch or drive chain adjustment.
