Hey guys... my 94 F2 is acting up again. My start up is slower then usual and i have a lot of vibration partially from the gas tank meeting the frame but some more i dont know where it is coming from, mostly just in first, but I was wondering if you could give me any pointers on how to fix slow start up... does SUPER Gasoline help a lot, and does anyone else have a problem with vibrations and the noise it makes. Thanks for any help guys.

 

Actually higher octane gas will make a slow start problem even worse. Remember "super" and "premium" are nothing more than marketing tactics to make more $$ for the oil companies. In reality, higher octane gasolines simply have a higher resistance to burn, aka resisit detonation. If your engine was designed for low octane gas, that's what will work best in it. Use whatever gas the manual recommends... I use 87 in mine with no probs whatsoever. Sounds like your bike has other problems, maybe dirty carbs or something along those lines

 

So follow up question... is there an easy way I can clean my carbs out myself.

 

Might try a product called Sea Foam in the gas before tearing e/thing apart. It will make the bike smoke a bit (from the exaust) but its really good at cleaning varnish and the like up. Have used it for years in all sorts of engines w/no neg effects. Should be able to find it at most auto part stores.

 

awesome thanks for the advice
