    in need of a tune-up/inspection

    my ninja 2fiddy needs an inspection...and could certainly use a tune up...

    anybody know of a good place to go or know somebody who knows how to do some tuning up themselves!?

    i'm also having some throttle issues under 8000rpms...like a weird popping noise and some major throttle bog going from a stop up until like 3 or 4,000


    any help would be great!!!

    If you go ask for a tune up at a dealership you'll likely get new spark plugs and a bill for $500. I'm sure there's plenty of people on this site that would do the work for you. Probably just plugs would do the trick, maybe a filter. What does the bike have for milage?

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Steph... your bike smells like a gasoline refinery

    I was thinking if the bike got stuck choked it would do that, but I haven't played with carbed vehicles too much. Its definitely dumping way too much gas for some reason. Hopefully a quick cleanup of the carbs, and maybe the choke cable will sort it out.

    I already told Spicey about hooking up, (I guess he forgets stuff). Just gimme a heads up, and we can have at it.
    This Saturday is out, my Daughter and I are getting a dose of nitro methane at New England Dragway. Sunday is still open though.
