I bought a Kawasaki ninja zx6r 1998
its been sitting in a garage for a few months.
It satrts o.k with alot of choke but cuts out at low revs, took it for a run around the block and the top speed was 45mph.
I have ordered new spark plugs, oil and filter and air filter.
The dealer i bough it from said the carbs where stripped and cleaned 3 days bofore the bike was sold.
Is there any thing else i should do ?
Any advice ? ... help

LET BIKE SIT FOR 5 MIN. STAND BIKE STRAIGHT UP.(WITH OUT KICK STAND TOUCHING GROUND) LOOK ON RIGHT SIDE OF BIKE THROUGH SIGHT GLASS. OIL SHOULD BE HALF TO A LITTLE ABOVE CENTER OF GLASS
This could be due to timing screw being incorrectly set
Locate gold timing screw on the carbrettta turn it clockwise
only slightly till bike idles without choke on, Then when choke it on it should idle a touch higher.
how's the plug look, float could be stuck, or hieght not set correctly. tab on float is bent leaving the fuel needle open slightly, or check synchroization of all 4 carbs and the choke linkage to all 4 carbs. choke could be full or partially turned on for that carbs .
good luck

The carbs need to be re-tuned for the exhaust. It doesn't seem like like it needs to be rejetted just idle mixtures adjusted. this would be something that a mechanic should do because there are four carbs and they need to be syncronized with each other
