Also,what exactly did you do?Oil change?Valve adjust?How long was it sitting?Do you have spark on all 4 plugs?Strong or weak spark?Gas tank emptied and clean gas in it?Battery good/new?
Bike was running, but rough at lower rpm's. Installed carb rebuild kits with carbs together, didn't sync, just cleaned out, still runs crappy. Checked ignition, it's OK. Did some online research, found out about some air cutoff valves on sides of carbs that get holes in them. Now in process of ordering cutoff valves and o-ring kit for completely dissasembling, syncing, and rebuilding carbs. Bummer is I want to be riding!

[QUOTE=rickhorizon;1883003]oh, battery is very good, changed oil, installed new tires (inexpensive compared to modern sportbikes!), and checked valve clearance, it's OK.
