    Sounds like the choke is stuck on, or the high idle cam is not rotating to the slow idle position

    Re: gixxxah help

    get full insurance, and since you live in Lynn leave it parked on the street for a little bit. Problem fixed and you get a check coming to you to buy another gixxah.

    Back to the Gixxer..one question I have is how can you sync the carbs if the idle is screaming? You gotta let the engine warm up before you try to sync them. I thinky you messed up somewhere....

    Re: gixxxah help

    Did you change out the gas? A long shot, but still a variable.

    When you cleaned the carbs - did you take them completely apart and make sure all the internal machined passages are clean, or just take the jets out? And - Are you sure they're back together right, seated in the boots, everything works smoothly?

    Is it just revving high, or revving with smoke?

    A quick check for air leaks on the intake side - while it's warming up, and at lower rpm's carefully spray a little carb clean (it can eat paint, and is flammable - so be careful) on the intake boots, sides of the carb, etc - and listen for a change in the way the motor runs.

    A lot of shops have ultrasonic cleaning tanks - it's usually about $50 or so to drop off the carbs to have them done.

    Sounds like an air leak. Carb to manifold or carb to airbox.
