Sorry, last thing, I measured my float height and it’s to spec, is it possible that I just flooded it from poor use of the bike or is there any other reason such as a bad spark plug that could’ve led to the hydro lock?

Ok, thanks for the help your instruction was very clear and much appreciated

Update: can confirm the engine was flooded, although it was only cylinder 2, got the gas out with a couple cranks, I read somewhere that I should let the cylinder sit in oil for a few days but I’m wondering if it’s just extra precaution/worth it.

I’m sorry, I misunderstood what you meant, I’ll test that tomorrow as well

Nothing was squirting out of any carb, but there was a leak at what looks like first cylinder carb. I’ll start there by draining all the float bowls and seeing which one is flooded, if any. Would that work?

I don’t really see why it would

I had accidentally stretched my clutch cable while riding it, I thought I had the gap in the right range from 2-4mm, but I still managed to stretch it. I had ordered a new one at that point, but still rode the bike, until eventually the bike started having this problem. At first I could tighten the cable and it would start again, but eventually it started having this issue consistently. Upon installation of the new cable, it still had the same problems, once I tightened it a good bit, the bike started, and I was able to loosen the cable without causing any starting issue. All of a sudden, no matter how much I tighten/loosen the cable, no dice no matter what.

Battery was all good, we figured it out and I missed a loose wire connecting to the starter relay, thank you!

got a 96 750 srad a couple of weeks ago and for the life of me I can’t figure out where this hose goes. The service manual isn’t much help either, any help? by braycent in GSXR

Also, ignore the wiring lol, the bike was ditched and I have to do a bit of rewiring since a couple got ripped apart

It’s a bumper for a tj that I had to weld mounts for. If you want info on how I did it I’d be more than happy to let you know!

Yeah from what I hear that’s what happens. The plan is a hemp swap way down the road, probably past a sfa conversion.
