  • Hello from central New Jersey

    Hi, My name is Eric. I love motorcycles. I work on cars and bikes quite allot. I recently picked up a 1994 GSX600F that I spotted on the side of the road. With a new battery and some work I had it running. It ran pretty well other than a hanging and fluctuating idle. I plan to put it on the road at the end of June. Before then I plan on doing lots of work to it.. Where should I share that? I know everyone likes pictures.

    I have planned: adjust valves, rebuild and synchronize carburetors, clean oil and adjust chain, change oil and filter, replace tons of philips head screws with socket head cap screws, change spark plugs, get new left mirror and turn signal, flush brake fluid, more..

            Hey, Jersey. When you getting it running lets go for a ride. Bridgewater is about an hour from where I work.

              Probably either long term projects or mechanics 101 would be the best place if you plan on a thread that shows continual progress, other than that, post questions in the area that seems most appropriate.
              Sounds like you've got a good idea what you're getting into. Check out carbs 101 in the wiki - detailed how to for clean/rebuild. I'd recommend changing fork oil to your list just in case you haven't thought about it.
              Have fun and welcome to the neighborhood!
