Kawasaki ZZR600 Carb Repair / Motorcycle Carburettor Rebuild + Balancing (1997 ZX6) 

No problem! Hope it helps you sort yours

Thanks, and good luck with it! Hope the vid helps

Cheers mate and yea, older stuff like this are technically more simple but can be harder to make them run right. Newer stuff generally has stupid electrical faults, but usually either work or don’t. Stuff like this will usually work but not work well when there’s an issue 😂

They’re just so small that they easily block up, usually when the bike has been laid up for a while, especially with the ethanol content of modern fuel

My friend where bay This gasket and all This?

I've found heating them up with a hairdryer softened the rubbers which helps

Jack of all trades, master of bating…

Can you tell if it’s boffing (lean) or bogging (rich) hesitation? And thanks, I work on bikes at work and often do jobs like this, but I don’t like to film work we’re charging a customer for cos it takes far too long. I only filmed this cos I booked a day off work and did it for a mate. I often have to take the carbs further apart then this, but these didn’t need the tops off and I just did what was needed. We only do and charge for what’s needed at our place at our place anyway. Bikes and Beyond in Shaw if you wanna check it out on the Googles.

Good questions, probably lean? You'd expect the bike shop would have addressed that, after fitting the new DynoJet parts, instead of just giving it back "sort of working". Bike is in bits at the moment as I'm rebuilding it into a Street Fighter (hopefully ready for next summer). But there's a mountain of parts I want to strip off and replace for new. Need a custom (seat) subframe welding, Have the square steel tube ready. But alot of bike shops seem hesitant to take on the project (that I've approached)..... Would be great to stop by your shop to say hello, but am around the London area. So would be a decent trek.

@@somerandomname9252 yea that is a decent trek! Tbh I can understand their hesitation. Jobs like that take so much time. Modified bikes in particular are usually a pain in the arse for a bike shop. They end up taking you away from so much normal jobs that unless you’re on a quiet spell, you can’t fairly charge enough to make them viable. What air filters are on it? I’ve not had much to do with Dynojet kits except ones that are already fitted. Some of them require pod filters and some require modifications to the standard air box. If the air box has been left alone then this could be the issue and it will likely be running rich. Have you checked the colour of the plugs?

@@somerandomname9252 also it could be something as simple as the float height being set wrong as these were. It’s not the first time I’ve seen carbs that have had the same mistake made where the float has been set with the carbs in the wrong orientation. This bike was bogging and stuttering until it cleared itself at higher rpm cos the floats were way too high which caused it to run way rich

Well the bike didn't have this low rev (pulling away) hesitation before it went in the the DynoJet kit. But did have a misfire on one cylinder. The misfire got fixed after getting bike back, but then it had this new problem! 😩

I’ll take it 😂

Thanks mate, I think you’re the only person that watched it 😂

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I have a 1978 VW Camper and I have to do some old school jobs like this aswell on it, I recently had the carbs off and changed the idle and mixer jets !

@@arnietwo11 not massively different then

No problem at all mate. Thanks for watching

Thanks mate

I’ve got a Terraced house. Bought it just before lockdown, and hoping to move into it for Xmas. I won’t be allowed to stick my R6 in the kitchen though 😂

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos R6!!!! Approved

I’m in Oldham bro, sunny Lancashire! Technically Greater Manchester, but let’s just ignore that.

Спасибо! Я не думаю, что многие англичане тоже могут меня хорошо понять, хаха

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos , у меня такой же Zzr600, и я предпочитаю обслуживать его сам. Из видео я понял, что высоту поплавка надо ставить от 11до15мм, при этом поплавок не должен давить на запорную иглу, а чуть касаться её. У вас было выставлено 13мм. Винт качества я так понял надо выкручивать, от полностью закрученного состояния, на 1.5 оборота?

@@Gennadui777 да, это звучит примерно правильно. при настройке высоты фота убедитесь, что нижний край карбюратора находится на одном уровне, как я показываю на видео

Спасибо! Подскажите, название этого ремонтного комплекта и где можно заказать?

@@Gennadui777 это просто называется ремонтный комплект карбюратора. вам нужно купить 4 штуки, по одному на каждый карбюратор. ebay должен их продать. Игольчатый клапан - самая важная деталь, которую следует заменить, поскольку она выходит из строя и вызывает утечку. остальные детали обычно можно отремонтировать, просто очистив их.

All the same. I set them to the factory settings. I think it was 1.5 turns 🤔

Thanks mate

As long as you’ve all the tools and ability then there’s no reason why not. You can just use a ruler to set the float valve, that’s all I used anyway

Sound. There's a part with 4 gauges and you having to turn the screws until the needles are level? Can I sort that part without?

@@natetaylor564 oh I know what you mean now. That’s to synchronise the carbs with each other. You can get them pretty close by sound to be honest but that takes a bit of experience

Did you make sure the pilot jets were clear? Also, is your throttle fully returning? Make sure you don’t have any air/vac leaks.

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideosyeah i cleaned everything. After cleaning i put the pilot screw completely in and turns it 2 rotations out. Maybe should i play with the Calibration or get the engine warm at cold start at 6.000-3.000rpm, because if i close the choke the engine turns out like how you show it in yours video

Thanks mate

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I have the same bike.

I’ll show it you when you pick your ladders up tomoz G
