How to wax the chain on a gsxr 600
clean the whole chain.
Make sure to wipe off as much kerosene as you can before you spray the wax on it. You don't need to spray on too much...just spin the chain around once while you spray and then let it set up for 15 minutes or so.
How often? If it looks dirty, clean it. Every 500 to 1K miles depending on your riding conditions. Job should take you 20 minutes or so from start to finish including the set up time..
Exhaust question
I recommend running a PCIII with the Slash Cut, although it is not required, you will notice a big difference when you reduce the fuel output under 4,750RPM since it runs rich. What I did since Power Commander doesn't have the Hotbodies Slashcut Map for 600/750s in 04/05 Gen is that in the 1,250 to 2,000 range @ 0 - 5% throttle, most of my numbers on the Fuel Table are at -5 to 0, of course having the higher negatives in the 0% and numbers closer to 0 at 5% throttle, and you will notice a difference as well as less bogging. After that, I got on the faceplate buttons and went down -1 on the LOW and MID then +1 on the HIGH.

Have you adjusted the free play correctly ?
Normally if the clutch is suspect it will slip rather than hold.
How do I fit a
squeeze the rings tight against the piston and slide the cylinder down over the top off the piston. you can use WD40 to help slide it down smoother. once the cylinder is in place, hold it in place with one hand and push the kick lever down to make sure the piston slides up and down the cylinder smoothly.
How do i adj clutch
Where the clutch cable enters the gearbox, slacket the cable adjuster lock nut and screw the adjuster in toward the gearbox. On the handlebar grip, adjust the adjuster until about 8 turns are left or 1/4" of thread is showing. Unscrew the cable adjuster from the gearbox until there is just no slack left and tighten the lock net. Screw in the handlebar adjuster until there is about 1/4 inch of free travel at the little finger end of the clutch grip.
Hope that's clear enough.
99 gsxr carbs running to
Most if not all manuals will tell you not to touch this...probably for a good reason. BUT, theres a few rules to this, each carb has one, you turn it out until the bike stumbles, make sure you know the count. Then you turn it in until it stumbles, also making sure to count. Then you simply turn it in/out so that it is between those two points. Sounds easy doesn't it...but its not always straight forward. Are all the carbs running rich? it is just a couple? Because if you synchronize them you may fix your problem and have a faster/better running bike. Another thing to consider is what air restrictions you have. If your bike is bone stock, as in, no modifications of any kind to the air intake or the exhaust, it might just be a plugged up air filter, not allowing enough air to get through. Or if you went from a modified piece to a stock piece that is more restrictive, that could have the same effect. I hope this helps.

When idling,there is a sputtering
If you have a fuel injected model , you will have to put a power commander on. If you already have a power commander , you should plug your bike into your computer and try some different maps to see if you can correct the problem. If you are dealing with carburetors, try resyncing the carburetors, replacing the exhaust gaskets in the heads , new spark plugs , and new spark plug CAPS.
Where is the rectifier located on my 2004 suzuki katana 600
Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

Why my Suzuki TF 125 losses power in the midway? What are the causes for such loss of power?
What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap?
Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

You can't, the computerized system is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do, Steal the bike without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram or over-ride the computer. You need a bike electrician.

Where is air/fuel screw on a suzuki vs 800 intruder
The air/fuel mixture screw on a Suzuki VS800 Intruder is typically located on the carburetor. To adjust the air/fuel mixture, you'll need to locate the carburetor and look for a small screw that can be turned.
Keep in mind that the exact location of the screw may vary slightly depending on the model year and specific carburetor version on your VS800 Intruder. Generally, it is located on the bottom or side of the carburetor.
Here are the general steps to locate and adjust the air/fuel mixture screw:
1. Locate the Carburetor: The carburetor is usually positioned on the side or underside of the engine. Follow the intake manifold or air filter housing to find the carburetor.
2. Identify the Air/Fuel Screw: Look for a small screw on the carburetor. This screw is typically flat-headed and may be recessed. It is often located near the bottom of the carburetor.
3.Adjustment: With the engine running at idle, use a screwdriver to turn the air/fuel mixture screw. Turning it clockwise (in) usually leans out the mixture, while turning it counterclockwise (out) enriches the mixture.
4. Listen to the Engine: As you make adjustments, listen to the engine's sound. The goal is to find the point where the engine runs smoothly and the idle is stable.
5. Fine-Tune: Make small adjustments and give the engine a moment to respond before making further changes. It's a process of trial and error to find the optimal setting.
6. Check the Owner's Manual: Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for specific guidance on the location and adjustment of the air/fuel mixture screw. The manual will provide information tailored to your bike's make and model.
If you're uncomfortable making these adjustments yourself or if you're unsure about the location of the screw, it's advisable to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the specific service manual for your Suzuki VS800 Intruder.

2005 Suzuki 250 refuse to start even after replacing kickster and battery.
f your 2005 Suzuki 250 is refusing to start even after replacing the kickstarter and battery, there could be several other potential issues to consider. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you diagnose and resolve the problem:
- Check the Fuel: Ensure that your motorcycle has an adequate supply of fuel in the tank. Sometimes, an empty tank or a clogged fuel filter can prevent the engine from starting.
- Inspect the Spark Plug: A fouled or damaged spark plug can hinder ignition. Remove the spark plug, inspect it for fouling, and replace it if necessary. Also, check the spark plug wire for any damage or loose connections.
- Examine the Air Filter: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow and affect engine performance. Inspect the air filter, and if it's dirty, clean or replace it.
- Verify the Ignition System: Ensure that the ignition system is functioning correctly. Check for spark by removing the spark plug, grounding it against the engine, and cranking the engine while observing for a spark. If there's no spark, the ignition system may need attention.
- Inspect the Carburetor: A malfunctioning carburetor can cause starting issues. Check for clogs, blockages, or a stuck float valve. Cleaning or rebuilding the carburetor may be necessary.
- Verify the Fuel System: Ensure that fuel is reaching the carburetor. Check for fuel flow by disconnecting the fuel line at the carburetor and cranking the engine briefly. Fuel should flow from the line.
- Compression Test: Low compression can also prevent the engine from starting. Perform a compression test to check the engine's compression levels. If compression is low, it may indicate internal engine problems that require professional attention.
- Electrical Connections: Ensure that all electrical connections are secure, including those to the starter motor and solenoid. Loose or corroded connections can prevent the starter from engaging.
- Safety Switches: Some motorcycles have safety switches like a kickstand switch or a clutch lever switch. Ensure that these switches are not preventing the bike from starting when they shouldn't be.
- Professional Inspection: If you've checked all of the above and still can't identify the issue, it may be best to have a qualified motorcycle mechanic or technician inspect your bike. They have the expertise and tools to diagnose and fix more complex problems.
