What about the second issue of not able to open throttle? Bike dies off as soon as I rev it up
1: Yes if you look at your own post 106 with photo which show the coolant level then if you look at your other post 111 photo the coolant level is right at very bottom of the reservoir
2: That is most likely carburetor problem as DannoXYZ posted, But I be more concerned about actually head gasket leak than carburetor right now.

Hey BoB must likely that not going to be an option for him as he lives in Australia well, I agree with you send to Gordon is next best thing for him being he know the Ninja Carburetor inside and out but I'm sure that going $180 to 225 round-trip + whatever Gordon needs, and its currency exchange rates and any other fee's.

Chinmay here are some options for you in your neck of the woods too look into.

I also check your local bike shop and ask about motorcycle carburetor specialist.

Also beware you should you attempt to do this yourself be sure to pay close attention to all the parts especially the Needle Jet Collar as there a right way and wrong way to install them to also Vacuum Slide Needle Jet Left, N9VU Needle Jet Right, N9VW have marking they need to be put in the right carburetor if have two small box's label them that way you don't get them mix up and pay close attention idle mixer screw and the number of turn going in to the close with each carburetor.

PEA solvents
