I hear you! The first time I removed the carbs, that airbox drove me crazy. After removing them 4 times (along with the rear fender each time to give the airbox some room to move back), I was able...

If you have never taken the carbs off, or ever cleaned carbs, this is a good chance to learn. It sounds like you are having problems with the main jets, the idle mixture screws, and possibly other...

I ordered a new rear tire to replace the already new tire that got TWO holes in it and won't hold air with two plugs. AARRGGHHH! How two holes? I think I ran over a soldering gun tip.

If it was working before replacing the plates and springs, and now it is not, I would definitely go back in and use a torque wrench. I always use a torque wrench on important parts on the bike. It...

Was it starting before the tank removal for paint job? If so, something must have gotten clogged, not hooked back up, or something. Could the paint job have clogged a vent in the gas cap...although...

Congrats! Welcome to the forum and to the world of riding. Your first bike is a super exciting experience. Heck, I get excited every time I get another bike and I've had about 15 different bikes.

That's the truth. I got a 2001 Ninja 250 a month ago that looked completely stock, but had trouble running at higher rpm. It turned out that the main jets in the carburetors were waaay too large, as...

Are you talking about the tube that comes out of the back of the gas tank? It goes nowhere. Just route it down toward the ground. It is just for an overflow for the gas tank.

Thanks, but it's too late for that. The "new" rotor is already mounted and the old one is in the garbage. :bounce:

I prefer spray chain wax to oil. It doesn't sling off and smells nice, too. I do mine about every 500 miles. Easy to remember on the 1,000 or 500 mark. Make sure to lube after you have ridden it...

My wife looked at it and she thinks the stamp on it could say 1 B. What does this mean? Either 1 B or 18? Hmmm.

I took the carbs out again tonight. I looked at the main jets and the number 18 is stamped on them. Would that be a 108? Should I take it back down to a 105 (stock size)? Also, the needles each...

When I say "ran poorly" I mean the stuttering at higher rpm. It is far from a poor running bike. Runs perfectly under 8k rpm and it is not un-rideable above 8k. It just stutters some.

I couldn't find a vacuum leak with the carb cleaner spray method. I have not tried a little bit of choke at WOT. I'll try that today on the way home from work. Thanks.
