Funnily enough these days I'd have them stripped and back together in no time so it was well worth learning them :) Ah also check your air lines from the air box to the carbs, if they split or pinch they can do that, you'll get a weird power loss around 7-8k rpm.

GSXRRRRRRRRRRRRR Gloves are for nerds... Flawless piece of gsxr design I see your 3 in one oil. That I need to get. Why is it always raining when you are in your shed?

2024, fixing 2000 GSXR 600, any information if rebuilding carbs would help with idling issues. Blip the throttle, and it revs and stays at 3-4krpms. ONLY happens when the choke is off. Turn choke on, and the problem is much less or doesn't happen. Besides that, their are missing fittings, air/vacuumlines, wiring harness looks like it was messed with. spark plug connector to the coil for 3 was on 4 and 4 on 3. Any info or tips or how to fix? the series has been helpful so far on giving me an idea on what can be repaired. THANKYOU!!

Keep an eye on the fuel level in the tank. Every carbed bike ever smells of fuel in my experience. The fuel left sitting in the carb bowls evaporates over time and that's likely what youre smelling. It's an open system really. If you not seeing any leaks I wouldn't worry about it :)

Sound job so far. Gloves..... what is it with HSE....... How many years have people been stripping engines. How many of them have life threatening skin diseases? I digress. Never had access to an ultrasonic cleaner. Take the butterflies off the shafts and then see about removing the shafts.... Have done that many moons ago.
