Re: valve comp

No, the vacuum leak from worn seals would not be enough to cause a vacuum loss and should not have any appreciable affect on part throttle running. <br><br>You should not expect your slides to oscillate at idle or off idle.

Re: rich

I forgot to add the following tidbit:<br><br>When checking the plug color, look for a little deposit staining the porcelain tip. If this deposit is only on one side of the porcelain and the opposite side is white, you might have valve seals that decided to retire. The deposit is from the oil that is...

Re: rich

If your having a problem with consistent idle and off idle stumble when it's hot, then your problem might be either rich mixture as dragracer mentioned, or it can be the valve seals. The mileage you listed on your post is high enough to suspect worn valve seals. <br><br>Check your plugs. See if they...

I believe that the fzr shock is welded together. A lot of the stock cheapies look that way. Has someone ever had an FZR shock rebuilt? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

I think that you need to feed us a little more info before anyone can venture a guess as to what your problem is. <br><br>Am I to understand that when your bike starts stalling under 4k,while riding, you could put it on the side stand and it will idle just fine? <p></p><i></i>

Re: Misfire

It's plausible that your engine cut out relay is being excited into resonating and causing misfire. Never seen it, but it's possible. Try disabling the relay circuit to see if that cures it. <br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :riding --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/FZRDude/Smilies/Bike...

Usually, when you throttle it on and it feels flat without breaking up, it's running lean. It should feel a little better if you let it idle and let it get hot enough to trip the fan. <br><br>A good way to check is to do what drag racer mentioned. But, you could also quickly check by having a buddy ...

Bear with me when I ask the following obvious question:<br><br>have you checked the valve lash and done a compression test before playing with your carbs? You might have a tight, or leaky, valve that's giving you a head ache. <p></p><i></i>

Re: '89 EXUP Headlight Relays

The reason why your 15 amp fuse was blowing has to do with the in-rush current when you turn the lights on. You used the ATO type blade fuse, which is a fast blow and ends up being tripped by the in- rush current. If you used the glass type 3AG normal blow fuse, it would not blow with a 15 amp ratin...
