1998 GSXR 600 Choke leaver will not move. Do I need to replace the cable or can I simply adjust, lube or tweak my current cable?

    Thanks very much for getting back to me so quickly. So, I have run the cable from the linkage under the tank (in front of the cylinders)up to the handle bar and everything runs smoothly, so I assume the problem is a jammed lever. Any advice on how to remove the assembly from the handle bar? Never done any work myself before this.

Two things, it could be the cable that has jammed between inner and outer. Remove the cable from the system and check it if it does work.( the cable should move freely with out much of resistance) if not than it has to be realeased or replaced.
If the cable does run freely than there is a problem at the carburator chole linkage, check that out too.

unless you have piped with atfermarket pipes it should not need done yet. Best way to control all timing and carb issues is with a power commander unit. Or have access to a durometer flow meter or Carb sync. This is not an EFI correct

SOURCE: how do you adjust the headlight up and down on a

There should be 2 screws on each side which holds the light housing, losen then about 2 turns, adjust the headlight accordingly and tighten all back again. If you are doing it yourself, do it in your dark garage or at night time (dusk) so you can see the height you wanted.

Gsxr cuts out

replace the fuel pump or adjust the TPS. It doesnt do it in nuetral its because it is not under a load. Put in dealer mode to check the TPS. It should read -COO... If the - is not in the middle (if its up top or on bottom) it needs to be adjusted.

2008 gsxr 600 is very slow to come back to idle and sometimes wont come back at all.

Hi
This sounds like a sticking throttle cable, you need to disconnect the cable and run some lube down it or replace the cable.

I have a 1998 suzuki GSXR that has been sitting 4 6 years with gas in it that are the things i should do to get it road worthy

I hope it was sitting inside and not outside. Bear in mind this bike may get costly. The following are general thoughts
  • Remove the bike battery and run jumper cables to the battery leads. Will the bike turn over using a car's battery?
  • Do the clutch and throttle cables work okay?
  • With car battery hooked up, does it have spark?
  • Shoot WD40 into each cylinder to lube the rings
  • Change gearbox oil. Lube the chain. Be sure the brakes are functioning properly.
  • Chances are the carbs are gummed up and will need some serious cleaning. Add an in-line fuel filter.
How bad is the rust inside the gas tank? You may need to seal the tank with KREEM to kill the rust problem.

  • New chain. New front and rear sprockets (if needed)
  • Battery
  • Carb rebuild kits (if needed)
  • Upholstery
  • Tires
  • Throttle, clutch and front brake cables
  • Speedometer cable
  • Electric starter (if needed)
Please rate my answer. Thanks.
