Motorcycle Repair: Gpz 1100 1996 kaw., intake leaks, tank vents


Question
Accelerating in any gear motor is bogging , idles fine at low rpm.   Plugs bad  or  choke sticking??

Answer
Mark,
check your plug color, that is a quick way to
find out if you are running rich (black) or light
color (lean) fuel mix. Check your air filter too.
Once you read the plugs, then you can troubleshoot
the right things. Too rich is likely a carb problem,
too lean could be intake leaks or fuel system
plugged or gas tank vents plugged.
