Hello all, My name is George. I am a new to motorcycles and just got a 95 gsx600f.
A little history on the bike, my friend got it a little over two years ago and never really took care of it. Carbs were dirty when he got it and honestly the bike ran like total crap when he bought it for 1000 dollars. After some research we removed the carbs and took it to one of the mechanics that we work with cleaned them for us. I wasnt there when he decided to put the carbs back in and he got it running. But there was still some problems, the bike would "pop" and "sneeze" while warming up and still ran like garbage. After that he still wanted to paint the bike black, so he took it all apart again. After everything was painted, the bike never ran again. He let the bike sit for almost two years outside. He called me a few weeks again saying he was moving and told me if i wanted the bike, come get it. I rented a truck and took to my parents garage.
Finally being able to look at the bike, I noticed two or three disconnected vacuum lines, dead battery, low oil, sticky clutch etc. At first i thought i made a mistake of bring the bike here. After two or three hours of just tying up some "loose ends" and adding a little bit of oil. I got the bike to fire right up. i plugged some of the loose vacuum lines and the bike stopped popping and sneezing. Took it for a spin around the block and all i can think was "that was fun". Unfortunaly winter is coming over here in chicago and i dont think i have much time to ride it. Ill be fixing it up over winter time and i look forward to bothering you all with some noob questions
