Hi,

I hope you can help me. I have got myself a kawa gtr 1000 '93. And it is giving me a hard time.

Can anybody tell me the correct way to setup the carbs. Because out of all the bikes I have/had this one is killing me.

When I bought it the numb 4. carb was missing some parts...main jet and needle. So after replacing that i'd try to set it up. Now sparks 1 2 3 are almost brown and numb 4 is black.

When I give it some throttle round 3 4000 rpm I can hear it stutter and cough with some small backfire bangs. When I turn down it starts to bang very loud couple a time. And only on the right side (carb 3 and 4). I have power enough it rockets to 120 kph no problem. But it stutters and coughs doing it.

I have synced the carbs with my gauges and they are in sync. But it looks to me that 1 2 3 are to lean and number 4 is rich. How do I tackle this?

Thanks in advance!

Gr. Mitcheman

Mitcheman, Welcome to the group.

Before you do anything else with the carbs,,,,
It sounds like you have a carb problem, but do the simple thing first.
check the spark plug caps and wires.


Have you talked to anyone in the GCE Club (in Europe)?
 (GTR Club of Europe)
As you are in the Netherlands,,, I know that several members of GCE live in the Netherlands.

NOTE: The GCE Club is putting on a Rally in Breda Netherlands August 1 thru 5.
          Contact them and try to be in Breda,,,, lots of info will be available...
           (4 COGgers {including me and my wife)} plan to be there)

Ride safe, Ted
