Needless to say, FUEL LEVEL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! Check out and RESET all: Suzuki (all), Yamaha (all) and Kawasaki (if low speed problems occur).
How to install spark plugs on a 2007 suzuki gs500f full#
Reference: a bike that runs cleanly at small throttle openings when cold, but starts to show signs of richness as it heats up to full operating temperature, will usually be leaned out enough to be correct if the fuel level is LOWERED 1mm. The Fuel level height in the float bowl affects full throttle/low rpm and, also, richness or leanness at cruise/low rpm. Adjust Floats to raise/ lower the Fuel Level.īase settings are usually given if a particular application has a history of fuel level criticalness. Warning: If the engine is left with the fuel level too high, the engine may foul plugs on the street and will be "soft" and boggy at part throttle operation. REMEMBER, since the main jet WILL affect low speed operation, the MAIN JET has to be within 1 or 2 sizes of correct before final float setting. If the engine is "dry" and flat between 2k to 3k rpm, raise the fuel level.Įxample: change float height from 15mm to 14mm to richen up that area. This will lower the fuel level, making full throttle / 2k-3k rpm leaner. If the engine has a "wet" rhythmic, soggy area at full throttle / 3k-4k rpm, that gets worse as the engine heats up, lower the fuel level by resetting the float height 1mm greater (if the original was 13mm - go to 14mm). To get best low-end power, set float height (fuel level) so that the engine will accept full throttle, without missing or stumbling, in 2nd gear from 2.5k to 3k rpm at minimum.įloat heights, unless otherwise specified in the installation guide, are measured from the "gasket surface" of the carb body to the highest part of the top of the float - with the float tang touching but not compressing the float valve spring.

You will deal with the low-end / cruise next. If the engine pulls equally well between 5k-7k when cooler as compared to fully warmed up, the needle height is probably properly set.ĭo not pay too much attention to the low-end richness when you are changing needle clip positions - you still need to be using the clip position that produces the best full throttle / 5k-7k power in conjunction with the main jets that produce the best power at high rpm. If the engine pulls better when fully warmed up but still not great between 5k-7k, try raising the needle to richen 5k-7k. If the engine pulls better on a full throttle roll-on starting at <3k, when cool but soft when at full operating temperature, it is too rich in the midrange and the needle should be lowered. To get the best power at full throttle / 5k-7k rpm, after you have already selected the best main jet, You will deal with the low-end / cruise later - after step 2. In order to properly tune the midrange and low rpm carburetion, THE MAIN JET MUST FIRST BE PROPERLY SELECTED after 10 to 15 minutes of hard use!ĭo not pay too much attention to the low-end richness when you are changing main jets - you still need to be using the main jets that produce the best power at high rpm. If the bike doesn't pull well at high rpm when cold and gets only slightly better when fully warmed up, the main jet is too small. This must be done first - before moving on to the other tuning ranges. Install a smaller main jet and retest until you find the main jet that pulls the hardest at high rpm when fully warmed up. If the bike pulls harder at high rpm when cold and less hard when fully warmed up, the main jet is too large. To get the best, most even top end power (full throttle/after 7500 rpm), select the main jet that produces the highest top speed / pulls hardest at high rpm. Top end (full throttle / 7.5k to redline - Best Main Jet be selected before starting step 2!
