GPZ900R Carb Removal

Millwright · 05-08-2005

Hi Gents
I've just aquired a 1984 GPZ900R that has been standing outside for 10 years!!
The carbs are siezed up and will need stripping & cleaning to free them up, has anyone got any tips or sequence of removal to minimise risk of damage?
Any other info relating to the rejuvination of this bike would be appreciated.

I looked through my Clymer manual and there are too many pages to scan. But if the bike has been sitting for ten years, the amount of work you may end up doing is worth the investment in a manual.

You'll have to check all the wiring, airbox, fairings, tank condition etc. and with this manual it wil be easier. Taking apart my '86 Ninja 1000R, I found all the things that were changed or damaged etc.

The manual number is M453-3

Carbs are cheap on ebay - you can find a set for spare parts or use them to replace the current set. When taking off the carbs you will need to take off the carbs first and then the airbox. The rubbers are probably solid on the carbs so you may as well start to order some OEM to replace. Same goes with the fuel line, air tubes and anything rubber.

Find a set of carbs. They will be your biggest obstacle. The ones on the bike are a paperweight.
