The carbs should be disassembled to clean, you just don't have to split the whole rack into individual carbs. It would be a good idea to get a rebuild kit for the carbs unless you know for sure this has been done recently.

Something else to chew on... What did the plugs look like? As your engine warms to operating temps it requires a leaner fuel mixture than when cold. If your carbs are allowing too much fuel into the engine, it would run worse as it warmed up, it could be a jetting issue. If it was riding fine until now you may have a jet that has fallen out allowing too much fuel. Carbs that need cleaned from sittng around too long, usually, have a problem from the get go & run better (if at all) as the engine warms. Either way, sounds like the carbs need to come out.

Again these are just bits of info for you to consider. There is much more to consider to give you a complete diag.

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear things are going well. Never fear, If I thought he was a super shady guy I wouldn't have hooked you up with him. I also heard you got an amazing deal out of it after all, congratulations. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with

Hey, MCD, does your dyno provide fuel ratio mapping?

Thanks, Mobile Chassis Dyno, for forwarding my email.

BDBGoalie & kawasaki guy - The schedules would be difficult to work around. The light service position does require a fair amount of previous experience. I would encourage you both to send your resumes to Josh@YourCyclePro.com, we will review & consider all applicants.

How did everything work out for you?

I was able to get ahold of the gentleman with the CBR & found out the details needed. Call back when you can. 614.571.7399 Thanks, Josh

We have a 1999 CBR900RR that has been laid down & needs quite a bit of cosmetic repair. The engine is in good shape. At this piont I believe the gentleman who owns the bike would like to "part it out". I have left him a message to find out what he would like to do for sure. Give me a call anytime with questions you may have.

The best way to get a hold of me for more info is to call 614.571.7399

This past weekend myself and another tech attended the Dealer News powersports expo in Indy. If you've heard of the expo before you already know it can be an absolute blast. Hosting some of the baddest bikes, new products to hit the market, tons of free swag & I usually get to catch up with friends in the Industry. Hear are a few pictures from this weekend...
