Carb Cleaning and Air Box residue?!?
First to get back to my first concerns I ended up changing the oil filter and the petcock and I still had the idling problem; when I had to keep the choke on for the bike to run.
It's finally spring and I took apart the carbs. When I took out the air box there was some residue inside the hole. Some type of black particles. Then when I took out the carbs and looked inside I found this. Is this normal or should I be concerned. They look like the little magnetic shards you get off of magnets colliding??

It seems that your air filter is falling apart.

It sure does. I just replaced mine, because I took it out last week and there was a hole in it! A year ago it looked OK, but last week it was falling apart. I got a genuine Kawasaki replacement from eBay for $8.24 including shipping. It even came pre-oiled.

So should I just replace the air filter and clean the carbs and put it back together or is there more to this? |
