so, everyone give me your opinions on what I should look for when I go to fix this bike... I already have my ideas. All I know so far is the bike does not idle well, and will stall at idle if you don't give it some gas. The idle speed supposedly is set correctly (but I will be checking that first). Once it is off idle it runs great, it will just "run poorly" and then stall at idle.
So far I am thinking idle speed (even though the owner says it is right, I am going to check it anyway). Spark plugs, idle mixture on the carbs.
The bike is a 1996 Kawi ZX9R. It spent alot of it's life in Hawaii with the salt air, so it could probably use a good carb cleaning and rebuild and that would probably fix it too... But if I can just get it idling for now he will be happy while we track down everything needed to rebuild them.

that's true too.
The bike went into storage for about 2 years, when it came out of storage, it wouldn't idle. I don't know what all he did to prep it for storage, so it could just be that the carbs need a good cleaning... I am going to try some carb cleaner spray that I have and see if I can't clean it out a little with that... and if that improves it at all, then I will take them off and give them a full clean with new gaskets and seals. Hell, I should probably jsut rebuild them anyway... 12 year old bike that sat for 2 years.... then for another 10 months in his garage after... I am sure they need it.
Hell u cant see so how you know if anything is coming OLDE dan

the carbs most likely just need a good cleaning if it sat that long without being run.

THAT IS WHAT I (damn caps lock) am thinking... I have some carb cleaner that is in a spray thing, it is made to be sprayed down the carbs while it is running, and you can pull a vacuum line and spray it in there also.
If I do that and it improves, then I will probably just rip them off, tear them down, and give them a bath in some carb soak, then do a rebuild with new gaskets and rubbers...
