Hi i have a 1996 VFR750, and am looking for some tips and parts. I bought the bike last year it had been sitting in a barn for several years with just under 7000 miles on it. I got it running, put new rubber on it and changed all the fluids, filters & plugs. Last season i tried to drive the varnish out of the jets using several different fuel system cleaners. Seafoam worked a little, I did put just over 2000 miles on it last year with cleaner in every tank of premium fuel. So i don't know what forum to go to and ask about jet cleaning. The bike runs fine at idle, though it does not seem that the choke is very effective, through just under 4k (it is weak right on the edge of gasping for fuel in the lower revs) then it goes flat until it finds 7k and then pulls like a mule until redline. So i am missing the meat of the powerband. Can i pull the carbs and use spray carb cleaner in the jets and be effective? Or will i need to pull the jets and clean them along with flushing the carb bodys? Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. I am hoping to do this without separating the carbs. Make some choke & throttle cable adjustments and resync carbs. Also i would like to find a new aftermarket windscreen for it. The original is scratched , cloudy and looks like hell. Any tips on where i can find one, opinions on double bubble & touring screens would be appreciated. Thanks for any and all help, Kirk
Welcome to the zoo lad; but As far as carbs go, if you didn't get the desired result mixing Seafoam in your fuel I think the only answer is pulling the carbs and cleaning them 'manually'. Idle and pilot circuits are notorious for getting gummed up if it sits for any extended period with fuel in it.
