Default Two things

First, does anyone know where to find a nice, clean, undented or scratched gas tank for my 97 cbr?

Second, I recently got a problem fixed with my bike and got it started finally but now when the choke isn't turned on after it warms up, it dies the second I left off the choke and the rpm's come down. I tried turning the **** that I thought was the idle adjuster but nothing happened. Any idea?

theres usually tanks on ebay.....as far as the bike dying when the choke is fully off seems like your idle is turned down waaaay to low. Try turning it up and see if the bike stays idling.

I used to ride an f3 and it always died with the choke on after a minute or so, but after it warmed up for even less than a mile it idled fine. f3's are just cold blooded.

dont mean to sound like an ***, but make sure you turn the idle screw the right way....I did it wrong once, and felt pretty dumb when i realized it.

For sure, when mine was not wanting to run I had to adjust the idle up. I probably turned the screw a full 2 or 3 turns before all of the sudden my rpms hopped up to where they should be. It got all out of wack before I got my bike obviously.
