Hi, I recently bought a Suzuki bandit 1998 600, been sitting for 5 years. (Apparently) the person I bought it off ran it for a couple days then couldn't use it. So he was selling it.
Obviously I thought stale petrol, so cleaned carbs (all green inside) and happy days it started and runs!
But on the comedown after revving it takes a long time to come back down to idle revs. Before I put it in to get carb balanced I was wondering if anyone could help me out by just shedding some light on something I may have missed or even if Im going down the right route! 14k miles and I think the engine is fine.

All help and commentsupport would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Yea I see what your saying. If there was an existing problem before it was stored, as long as it's not the engine it should still be able to be fixed!

I very possibly did disturb the float heights when I was cleaning, and the idle jets were completely block and couldn't see through them. I've blown them out and sprayed everything up, do you think it's worth getting them set up then?

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks a lot for the replies. I have taken the carbs back off to give them another thorough clean before I give up!
This is the pistons in the carbs, they look incredibly tired, any chance this could be my issue? Thank you.

They are clean. That's not the end product. Cheers.
