    Center Stand assist

    Try that on the (GSX)1100G, lol. I take it you mean the pedal part that sticks out. I've a vague-ish memory of "Is it possible to actually bend that thing?" when doing that, since it didn't respond well to anything for me. And I'm 200+.

    Center Stand assist

    The GSX1100G was terrible, and I used the board trick. Can't remember for sure but don't think there was anything to grab onto with the right hand besides the bar at the end of the rear seat. Mighta been some technique I was missing too. ZX-11 is easy in comparison. Nice little grab spot...

    Hello from Alaska!

    That's a place I'd like to visit. At least. Don't know Sam Miller do you? He's the guy taught me to ride many years ago; that is, I did my permit only time with him. Last I heard that's where he lived.

    Hi. Haven't logged in in a while so missed your PM. There aren't any whole mags, just pages cut out. Some cool stuff. I'd hafta dig 'em back outta the closet to see exactly how much, but 20 or 30 pages worth prob; maybe more (?). Wouldn't think shipping'd be that much.

    Rough Spot/Growl, Very Low Speed

    Yeah, it's all good. I'm gonna ride this (how do I say "bad boy" without saying that?) for what it's worth, and hope for the best. Maybe it is an engine thing, since PO mentioned something about them having a 3k (can't remember for sure where) lean spot, that the flo commander was supposed to...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    Quick update. Bike's running great; only thing that tells me it might not be 100% correct is it doesn't like choke when (not absolutely cold) - like even after it's been sitting out all day at work. I'm talking like a day in the 60s... It fires up easily if I crack the throttle a bit with no...

    Rough Spot/Growl, Very Low Speed

    Time for another post since the Other section's a little slow... ('97 Kaw ZX-11) I have noticed a brief roughness manifesting sometimes when slowing just before stopped. Doesn't always happen I don't think, but can happen even in Neutral if I'm not mistaken. Then a day or two ago, I launched...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    Thanks for the link. I saved it. Had it out again today, and it ran good (23F, lol, then about 50F coming home). Was hard into it in 1st, 2nd, and just into 3rd getting onto the highway (traffic) and it did fine. Was shifting by the sound, but wasn't at or too near redline I'm fairly...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    Got it back together last night and this morning. Old bowl gaskets were kinda brittle when I removed them. Decided not to change the intake boots yet since the old ones looked/felt pretty good. A bit of vaseline on the carbs, and they went right in. Cleaned and oiled the K&N too (which was...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    No, we've got access to 100% gas still so I put it in anything that might sit. PO said they used only 100% too unless on a trip and it was unavailable (bike's been all over the place from what I gathered from him and hid dad - coast to coast, way up in Canada, etc.). My last bike (from the...

    That doesn't look like rust, it looks like sand from the lake, lol. ​

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    I'm old and I still don't know any better, but yeah I'll buy that; I went ahead and ordered a couple more bowl o-rings (makin' more $ than I ever have in my life, and still having to watch it... I'd like to go political here, but I won't). The idea was that the others looked good; only took off...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    No doubt. Supposedly they were, a couple years ago (I'd hafta look at the records again). Bike was running pretty good - like, I didn't have any complaints. There was a bit of stuff in the bowls that looked like reddish dirt (rust maybe...). Another sidenote: intake valves have some gunk...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    Awesome, I'll have a go at that... Got them out, still tough. Pulled the bowls off of 1 and 2, and the o-rings were really flat. I think that's the prob. Decided to save $30 (not 60...) and leave the other 2 alone. I could squeeze the intake boots, and they seem Ok... Just had a thought - the...

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    Ok; I'll work them up and down some more next time I try, before pulling; see if I can loosen them up like that.

    Right side. Rest of them seem Ok. ​

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    Airbox is totally off, and I can't get them out of the boots; they've moved maybe 1/8". The bands/clamps are pretty loose there too... Here's some of the gas staining: ​​​​

    Gettin' the Carbs Off; Kawasaki ZX-11

    So I'm looking for a gas seep (which I think may be the number 1 float bowl gasket, but don't know). I'm to the point of pulling the carbs off, but I can just wiggle them up and down in the intake (boots?) (while pulling, both hands), but am not getting anywhere. Have the clamps loosened. It...
