Any bike is hard to maintain if in the hands of a shoestring budget owner and an unqualified mechanic.

Hello there:)

 

I am new to this site, but it seems like a nice place for sharing experiences with different bikes.

 

I bought a GK76a last year when i got my license, because it seemed like a nice little beginner. It ran super in the start, but i soon became aware that something wasn't right. I came to the conclusion that i has to change seals in the carbs and open the engine, because og lack of pressure on one cylinder.

 

I then started the rebuild and found out that some valves were bad. I put new ones in and grinded the rest, and assembled the engine, with new seals of course. I then put new seals in the carbs and put the bike back together.

 

And this i where i hoped that some of you guys would please take a little time to help a frustrated biker. I just cant get the bike to start. I have got a spark, it doesn't seem like my plugs get very whet, but i can't figure out what should be wrong with my carbs.

 

Here comes the very weird part: After assembly i tried to start it for a while, and suddenly it started. Immediatly it span up to around 16.000 rpm, before i got i chance to turn it off. As i turned it of thAe fuse went. I did this about three times, then i had no more fuses. When i came back with new fuses i could not get it to start, and hasn't been able to since.

 

So, does anybody have any idea of what could be wrong. All help will be very much appreciated, as i am totally stuck with this bike:(

 

Thank you for your time!

I'll start looking at the carburetors first.

 

1) When you replace the seals, what was the float height?

2) Did you replace any of the jets and needles?

Okay, that is what i am thinking to. Yesterday i got the idea that if the carburators are filling to much, gas will just poor into the cylinders. This will explain the starts where it just spins up.

 

Im not really sure about the float height, i didn't set it, just left it where it was. Can i adjust it with the carbs fittet?

 

No, i didn't replace jets and needles.

 

Btw, thanks for your time!

You may wanna check your air box to see if there is fuel inside and measure your float heights for now.

 

This is assuming that you didn't touch any needles and jets and only did a top overhaul.

 

Check your valve seats too.

[ben2306]

bro andersmadsen, think only bro yoshitel will be able to help you on this.

cos other than him, all of us send our bike to workshop...

btw, where are you from? spore or?

i heard some ppl say if speedo 240kmh is a no powercut (unrestricted) type?

but mine's a 1994 GSXR RR .. FM plate, means its the 53hp restricted one?

 

how to go about making it unrestricted?? hmm.. tried searching but can't find results.. thanks experienced gixxers!

Okay, i'll be messing with the bike tomorrow, and i will start with the floats. I had the needles and jets out, but i am pretty sure that i installed them correctly.

 

The valves was polished in the seats, so they should match up nicely.

 

 

Ben2306:

It sounds like Yoshitei knows what he is talking about, so i am apreciating his help(:

 

No not at all, actually i'm from Denmark. But in need of knowledge on my bike, a ran into this fora.

You'll need to check your year of manufacture (on your "log card") to verify if it is a post or pre 1993 model.

 

All exported GSX-Rs have a speedometer that reads to 240km/h. I doubt there are any parallel imported ones.

 

There are some who claim success flipping dip switches on the CDi, personally, my success came by rewiring the electronics behind the gear shifter.

What coolant are you using and when did you last replaced your coolant?

 

Have you checked your coolant tank under your passenger seat?

Okay, so i had a little time to play with the bike again. Checked the floats, and had to change the height on 3 out of four, but the only difference was a little banging.

I did it on my own, not difficult, just some interest in getting your bike faster.

You want a bike just for transport or a bike for thrills?
