Gn to GSXR

[Laurence]

uhhh it winds over and the battery lasts a fair while but it just doesnt fire. Ive replaced the battery as i've been told its a common problem with gsxrs that the battery will run the starter motor but wont fire the plugs due to a bad battery. However ive replaced the battery and still having problems its just flooding so qucikly, if it doesnt fire within the first wind of the starter motor it wont start and will flood. I have a feeling it needs to be tuned as i think it may be running to rich in petrol but any ideas would be good.

oops, screwed that one up. forget i was here.

ok mate it sounds like you need to adjust float levels in your carbs, so if its flooding you will also have to look at your plugs again cos they would have carboned
up so you will need to give them a scratch up with a bit of 400 grit sand paper, not too much tho cos you can make the gap too big and they will be getting soaked by fuel aswell . Once ya done that try fitting a better air filter so there's more oxygen to ignite the fuel. Just a bit of time and a couple
of bucks and I wreckon she'll be right as rain. I had the same problem a few years ago with my zxr. Give that a go mate and good luck.

Oh one more thing, if the tip of your exhaust is black inside then yes its running too rich which will mean your plugs will definately need a clean.
Don't pay some one to work on it cos they will just take the piss outta you and your wallet for something so simple.

Personally I fail to understand why they allow drivers and riders to continue for years and years on a learners - you should have to pass your full within a max of 24 months or start again.

I was on my learners for 17 years before picking up another bike and riding again. Did a BHS course and nearly failed the faux test at the end. I have to agree.
