Hey y'all. I just had my carbs cleaned a month ago by a mechanic, and I've noticed my RPM's have been a little weird. When i first start the bike up cold, the RPM's go from 0 to 2000 and then drop down to about 1200, which is normal. After the engine's warmed up, idle speed is about 1500. When I...

UPDATE: I had to cave and take it to the mechanic so I would be able to park on college campus this week, since classes started. The mechanic found that there was a ton of water in the gas tank. So after cleaning the carbs with a carb kit, he flushed the water out and dried everything and now...

So, because I know very little about bike mechanics, could you explain to me why would the battery cause this issue? I could understand the battery not getting the engine to turn, but what I don't understand is how the battery relates to RPM's. I thought that was the fuel system.. I've had a...

Hello everyone. This is my first post on the site, by the way. So here's what happened. I've had my '04 FZ1 for about 4 months. I left town, and left it untouched for about 10-12 days with almost no gas in the tank. I came back, started her up, rode about 100 yards to the gas station, filled...
