yeah itll red-line in neutral but as soon as its put in gear it wont rev pass 3k unless i pull the clutch about 25%-50% in. It sounds like its stalling when i dont clutch it in while in gear with the throttle open.

when it redlines in nuetral, does it sound clean, or shitty? u mentioned carbs, so start there. u might have a stuck float...or two. is it running on all 4 cylinders=are all four pipes hot?

all 4 running, i checked the floats for play before i screwed in the bowls. Sounds clean when i run it and starts right up so i dont think its the battery. I'll check the voltage on it though just to be safe, but i really dont think its the battery.

you can get a stuck float at anytime, even right after u put it together, just fyi.
but it sounds clean, runs on all four, so thats out...next id look at electrical or clutch... coulda broke a plate maybe.... could still be carb related...getting gas and everything? honestly have no clue, just going thru what i would do if i were u. never wrenched on a yammi b4, but carbs are carbs. you could have a bad fuel filter could have bad gas could have gotten some trash in the carbs did u take em all apart and blow em out or just drop the bowls? could have a bad/intermittent electrical connection to the coils or ignition. clutch problems-check the adjustment on the cable, and i think fzr's have another adjustment where the cable goes into the case, and check the plates. could be battery related-check voltage with it off, and then make sure its charging when running. thats all i can think of for now. i know alot about old kawi's and suzuki's, not so much in the old yamaha repertoire

It revs to redline in neutral, but not in gear? If it won't rev in gear, it sounds like the chain is too tight or the brakes are dragging. Maybe somethings wrong with the clutch or trans. Too bad you don't have a centerstand. I would put the bike on stands or a milk crate to check how the wheels spin first.

Sounds like a weak battery because of something or other. my EX500 went through this when a magnet or three came off my flywheel and the battery got weak. check that out just in case.
could also be something else entirely. I'll trade you for my bike. lol |
