Re: Need help!
it could be a piece of rust or something out of the tank that got in one of the carbs. they may need cleaned. or the jetting could just be too rich. check the gas tank for evidence of rust.

Re: Need help!
seriously though. If that thing runs, sell it and get your money back for a couple reasons... When, not if, but when you blow that motor, the bike wont be worth a hundred bucks. You cant even part one of those out. It wont be easy finding another engine that is worth a damn to replace it either. Once you crash that thing you will never get any of your money back out of it. You can buy a salvaged f4i in straight and running condition for around 2Gs... stunt the ever living **** out of it and then sell it for 2500. all day long.
I'm not trying to be a **** or anything.. that just has bad decision written all over it.
If you like the bike, get the carbs fixed and have fun with it on the street and put some good miles on it out in the hill country. great riding out there.. make some crazy custom contraption out of it. Snag a bandit 1200 motor or an old gsxr 1100 motor and cram it in there. You can do it pretty easily compared to doing something similar on the newer bikes. Stunting that bike is definitely the wrong way to go.
If you want to get a cheap stunt bike pick up an 01-03 gsxr 600, f4, f4i, 99-02 r6 or something like that from a salvage auction. Hook up with Alan at sum of all parts down there and he can get you a deal on a cheap up-to-date shitbike.
