Whenever I do this service, I usually have to skip between 2 to 3 videos. Thank you for covering everything all in one !
No problem! Hope it helps you sort yours
Perfect Video, I got a ZX6R 2000, and after 8 years standing I changed the spark plugs, oil change etc. it started just fine. At first I thought I don't have to clean the carburetor, but my motorcycle has the same problem so I will clean and change he parts, greeting from Germany
Thanks, and good luck with it! Hope the vid helps
Interesting content Tim well worth watching takes me back to when I had bikes not as complicated as modern bikes
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 😂
You are the man everything everywhere all at once.
Jack of all trades, master of bating…
Amazing tutorial mate
Thanks mate
Great content as always. Nice to see some maintenance on a bigger bike (that I can relate to with mine, compared to the hairdryers 😀). I had a Stage 1 DynoJet kit fitted to my 900, plus the carb ultrasonic clean. Fixed the misfire, but introduced a slight hesitation pulling away in 1st! There's always something! 🙄 More like this please. 😎👍
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've a zzr 600 and have lost count of the times the pilot jets needed cleaning,It can be a real pain getting the airbox back on👍
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
Good video bud.
Thanks mate
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I have the same bike.
Ive never tinkered with bikes ! But liked the entertainment !!
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
just like watching Alan Milyard ,,, sort of
ok
not quite
more Andy Backyard ..
Perfect.
I’ll take it 😂
Appreciate the video mate, hard to find float levels and mixture screws on the net.
No problem at all mate. Thanks for watching
so what was your setting for mixture screws? all 1.5 turns ? or just the first one 1.5 turns and the rest 2.5 turns as they were tunned before? thanks for great video !
All the same. I set them to the factory settings. I think it was 1.5 turns 🤔
Great video, cpuple of questions? Can i do this at home if i have a bit of common sense. Do i need a valve set up gauge? Cheers buddy😊
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
The ZZR600 was the first bike I ever saw kept in a terrace house kitchen. Featherstone circa mid 90's. FACT
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
*pulls airbox and the carb comes out with it* "yes", god I miss yorkshire sometimes
I’m in Oldham bro, sunny Lancashire!
Technically Greater Manchester, but let’s just ignore that.
Хорошее, познавательное видео! Спасибо автору! 👍 Жаль что нет перевода на русский.
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.
Guys i need help.
I habe an kawasaki zx600d 1990.
I cleaned the carbuerator and the bine only goes on with choke and goes wild to 6.000rpm.
I close a little bit choke rpm goes dowm to 4.000-3.000 and then i close a little bit more it turns off.
Bike doesn’t turns on without choke.
What should i do
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
Best plastering you've seen!?!?
Think Me n the Captain need to pay you a visit! 🤨
I’ll show it you when you pick your ladders up tomoz G
