Hi all I’m a newbie here...
My ZX9R 2000 E1 started cutting out about 2 weeks ago. It first happened on a ride and I thought it was out of fuel so turned it to Reserve fuel and it started up and ran again but only for 1/2 a kilometre. Now it would only start on full choke no throttle. Then again it’s dies after 1/2 a K.
I have put new plugs in and changed the fuel pump and filter and hoses.. Still the same and I’m at my wits end on this ..it’s as tho the fuel enters the carbs for just enough to run 1/2 a K then that’s it I have to wait a min or two and try to start it again with full choke only.
When it goes for that initial 1/2 k it’s sweet but then dies ? Fuel relay maybe ? Your thoughts and advice please and a huge hello from this newbie to this forum..

Fuel tank breather blocked? The cap may have a breather hole in it make sure it isn't bunged up. You can tell if this is the case, run it until it cuts out them immediately open the filler cap, if there is a vacuum/sucking noise then the breather is the problem.

Maybe a kink in the fuel pipe from the tank to the pump?

Well thanks you guys...all sorted now and it was a kink in the fuel hose from pet cock tap to filter. I took about 1.5” off it and now it’s all good.
Thank you all for you advice and Input
