Default Balancing the carbs

I just cleaned my carbs and now it is bogging and running for crap when it is warm. I was told to balance the carbs, but my manual didn't say anything about it. How do I do it? Thanks!

I wonder if the advice that you received should have guided you to "sync" the carburators. The "How To" section that this post is showing in has a great video on how to do this. You will need what is called a carb stick (4 manometers) or an arrangement with 4 vacuum gauges.

Good Luck,

Steven

Well, I balanced my carbs, and it is still bogging down, worse even. It sounds just fine when I rev it up, but as soon as I start riding it bogs down from starts, dies. Any ideas?

Try posting your issue to the regular CBR1000F forum. You will get a lot more help as it is more widely read.

Good Luck,

Steven
