    Possible problem carbs???

    Got a question for anyone who might be able to help. Got a 93 CBR 900 that doesn't want to idle but once your riding it especially past 5000 rpm she's fine. I'm guessing carbs aren't tuned properly..

    Any other ideas on what it might be? Any info greatly appreciated.

    Clean the carbs... the pilots are most likely plugged up

    Id say you should at least start by cleaning your carbs, pilots do get clogged up... don't just take the float out and spray carb cleaner, actually take the jets out and clean each one thoroughly

    What Matt said- especially if it runs with the choke on- then for sure the slow jets need to be cleaned...
