Hey everyone!

I'm having a problem with my 1996 GSX-R 750...

Well, about 2 months ago my bike started running like crap (more than usual)... it started by sputtering when I was up doing slow stuff... then after a few more days it just basically felt like it ran outa gas while it was up there... now, I have NEVER had this problem before... its almost like my bike grew a tipover sensor or something. Also, by this point it wasn't running so well on flat ground... and clutching it up was hit or miss... sometimes it just completly stalled while I was clutching at 8 grand... leaving me fighthing not to go over the front... not fun at all.

Anyways, I saved up... got myself a new jet kit.. proud to say I took the carbs appart, put the kit in, put it all back together (with no left-over parts I might add!!) and the bike started like a champ ...I have it all dialed in now and is super strong on the street, even clutches up nice and strong ...but again ...biotch just dies as soon as I get it into 12 position.

I'm pretty frustrated at this point and I gotta get it running right by this May long weekend coming up ...can anyone help me out as to what I can check/fix to get this thing running in a slow wheelie situation again?

...man I hope you guys can help!

Many thanks to everyone!

I have an f3 and everyone tells me you can't be up in the 12 position for more than a couple of seconds before it starts sputtering and dies. I've never read that there was a way to fix it. I'm not 12'in yet so I haven't worried about it yet. It might be your floats are getting stuck, causing it to flood? I know I got to drain my bowls almost after every good crash cuz it runs like shiot afterwards and for some reason I get a little bit of oil in there.(?) not sure why exactly, but I'm guessing its runnin through my airbox from the breather hose. Sorry man, but once I get good I'm upgrading to fuel injection.

 

Yeah, no worries... I have plans for FI as well... but like I said, I've been rocking the slow stuff for over a year now... just starting to get into the circles... never had a problem before rockin the 12s.

Thanks though.

 

...nobody? I adjusted my floats yesterday, not sure if its going to help... havent had a chance to test it out... anyone know of any other possible solutions to try if this doesnt work??

Thanks.

 

mine will do the same thing try fillin it all the way up with gas seems to help with mine good luck

 

lol, thanks fuzz... actually that was the first thing I tried.

 

hey urban fusion do you have one of those new gsxr head fairing conversions on your bike?

 

s750... nope, stock 96 750 except for the pipe and gearing.

...and she ain't as pretty as in the picture anymore either! haha.

 

what gearing are you running in that picture, or on that bike in general

 

In that pic (which was actually my very first 12 O'Clock in June 2004... happened to have a professional photographer at the track that day... also caught the aftermath of my first busted stator lol) I was running -2 in the front and stock 42?? rear sprocket. Now I am running -2 front and 55 (+13) in the rear and it runs great for the slow stuff... when my bike is actually running properly of course.

Cheers!
