there is another guy that had this problem and it was that he had the CCT too tight. If you have the cam chains too tight it will cause the same problems that you are describing. I would double check the tension before I rode it anymore.

Ok, here's the case. I bought my 98 GSXR600 (Srad) and took the ferrings off to get painted, while getting that done, I decided to order a manual CCT and put it in myself using the tutorial off here. Now, myself not being a mechanic but willing to try to fix things myself to learn and save money as well, I took the carbs off the head (un-bolted the bolts from the head that attach the boots ... and took the carbs off completely and turned them upside down and set them aside and moved them around while I was workin on the bike. My question is this, over asking a few questions and consorting with a few people, they have told me that the problems i've been experiencing (Stuttering while just jamming on the throttle, having to clutch my starts to keep the RPMs above 3k while takin off from a light, having trouble starting it and whatnot) are due to the floats being out of wack because I turned them upside-down and it probably screwed them up , cause the bike was SCREAMING before I touched it. heh. So I was wondering, is this feasible? Thanks in advance, If it IS something of that sort, does anyone have a tutorial or something on how to fix it.

Hmm, I tried doin that, but the noise get's worse?? I'm not familiar with bikes and/or the sounds that gixxer's make normally, it just doesn't sound right to me, but I've worked on a plenty of cars and that's what i'm comparing it to... So I guess I shouldn't. heh. I just don't want the damn thing to seize while i'm doin 70 down the road..

Well the only thing that I could see happening is one or more floats getting stuck... It you tap the bottom of the carbs with the back side of a screwdriver, it would normaly free them up... Or you would have to take the bowl off and free them up by hand...
Sorry I was so late on getting to this one..

Ok, it came back, when I did the CCT change, even though I zip-tie'd the cam chain to the sprockets, it still jumped two teeth, either that, or it was off to begin with... but the doods at the cycle shop said it runs a hellova lot better and starts easier now, but their's still noise from the engine... i gotta wait for the guy to come back and tell me what's up and how much it would cost to go more into the motor if that's the way I wanna go... He said it sounded like a rod is about to go out or something... any suggestions?
