ive owned my 99 f4 for about a little over a week now and have driven it about 200+ miles already and im sort of getting used to a bigger bike(started on a 250). i dont really know the maintanance of the bike except for current oil changes.

whenever i start off first gear, the engine chuggs alot. like its about to stall(sometimes it does, very dangerous for me i know) usually i catch it and it doesnt stall. then i shift and the bike is normal.

well i wanted to know if anyone knows what problems i could have with the bike?

maybe dirty carbs?

i checked the chain play and seems VERY loose. could that be the problem?

please leave me or comment anything you might think would be the problem. thanks guys.

 

Does she idle ok? What rpm is she idling at once warm?

 

when its warm it idles fine. sometimes it drops a bit but not much to say that it has an idle problem.

also when i gas it in neutral, sometimes it hesitates in low RPMS
