I was taking a look at the carbs today, just the exterior of the carbs, they are mounted and installed.

I was peeking through the fairings, when I noticed at the bottom of the carb assembly, I could see what looked like residue from when something leaked, something possibly oily.

The residue didn't evaporate so that's why I think it is oily and then dust settled on it.

It looks sorta old. Is this normal? The bike has 20,8xx miles and runs perfectly.

'93 900rr

 

Maybe you should clean it throughly first and look for any odds after a couple of runs.

If really thereis any residue then its probably not normal.

 

...the whole bike...

...give her a chance to live the good life

 

not likea raped ape......lol

 

LOL you guys crack me up!

I actually gave her a little TLC today, spraying Simple Green on the white rims which are super white now, lubing the chain and adding white touch-up paint to the tank and fairings.

She was glowing! This bike is the one.

Hopefully I shall never need another...

 

the residue looked pretty old.

If I could just reach in and wipe it clean I would, I'll do it eventually.

Thank you for the advice

 

normally I'll be using a tooth brush to clean all the tough area.

Nice to hear you are really into your bike. How many hours you spend with her in a day??

 

I'm sooooo into this bike dinez, I wanna park it inside my home!

Honestly, that day was the first real day I had to spend all the time I wanted with it.

Got to take my time riding it slow, then fast, then cleaning it and getting to know it.

 

If it's brownish then it's prollydried up fuel residue.

 

Thats exactly what color it is, brownish.

I guess some gas leaked at some point.
