My cbr 600 f2 1993 had been sitting for a long time

My cbr 600 f2 had been sitting for a long time before i got the carbs cleaned at a shop. It runs fine once it is warm, but its sometimes hard to get started since even with the choke all the way on, the idle revs. sits about 1200rpm or below and sometimes nearly dies unless i open the throttle a bit. Once the bike is warm,(after having turned choke off) if i pull the choke on the rpm goes up to around 2500 but then drops back down almost right away. What could my problem be? thanks!

    Well once the bike is warm, and the choke is off, ive played with the idle adjustment knob to get it to about 1250rpm with the clutch in. I was under the understanding that that was normal. Also, what can explain that when i pull the choke on all the way revs rise quickly but then drop right away?thanks for the help!

Sounds like the carbs were not properly cleaned or set up. Choke should cause the cold start rpms to be higher than what you are experiencing. Application of choke to a warmed up engine will usually cause the engine to stall.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

The carb needs cleaning, likely blocked jets. Maybe a torn diaphragm or two.

I put a new fuel pump on my 90 cbr 600, when I start it up it flows fuel out of a hose on the far left carb, and all over the motor, is it supplying too much fuel?

Sounds like a stuck float on the left carb. Try tapping the carb bowl while the gas is running through. carbs probably need cleaning.

My 89 cbr 600 won't start unless I poor fuel down the carbs then it will fire up have tried bypassing the fuel pump there is fuel in the float bowls but doesn't seem to be getting to the cyl have pulled...

The carbs are plugged and need to be completely disassembled and cleaned out along with the tank and petcock. If the tank has any rust it remove the tank and put a tank liner kit in it. Most cycle shops and online stores will/may have the liner kit. The carbs will easily plug up with the new formulated gas even sometimes in less than a years time. If you are not familiar with the cleaning process, it is best to take it to a dealer ship or mechanic. Some carbs have jets inside that will have orifice as small as .010 inch. Most home mechanics or "do it your selfers" will not have tool that can clean those size jets.

Cbr 600 shut off while driving

Has the bike been sitting up for any length of time? Sounds like the needle/seats are sticking (they regulate the flow of gas into the float bowls of the carbs).. a full float bowl will last about a mile or two..then you run out of gas.. then. if you let it sit.. they slowly refill.. (add choke).. and it will restart and repeat this over and over..if this sounds right... have the carbs professionally cleaned/checked and calibrated!!
Have you checked the petcock to make sure its flowing gas freely to the carbs?

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA CBR600F4. IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR 2 YEARS AND HAD BAD GAS IN IT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, REPLACED THE PLUGS, CLEANED OUT THE CARBS WITH CARB CLEANER. GOT IT TO RUN AFTER ALOT OF STARTS....

first,your over heating the starter, hope its still good. 2nd, running carb cleaner thru will not clean the whole carb, only lite deposits. You need to pull the jets, and clean then, thats where your problem is. Jets have a very small hole to atomize the gas, and need to be clean.

I have a honda cbr 600 f it is suffering from lack of power

Sounds like your carbs need cleaning. Get them cleaned and synchronized. You can try running some in tank carb cleaner such as seafoam or chevron techron and see if this helps, but most likely a plugged pilot jet or two.

Honda cbr 600 wont start

hi, each lead has the specific number on it. if you do this correctly then they genrally give you an idea to where the sit in the coils( the way they bend :-) ) also i believe the coils are better off been attached to the frame once you are sure leads are in corect order and possitioned correctly in the coils.i just presumed the coils neaded earthing. make sure battery is pleny charged as a bad battery can just hinder. it is also very easy to flood the bike so just check the plugs again. if they are unusually wet then dry them off and try again . otherwise maybe try cleaning all electics.

hope this somehow helped
