ummm....spring tune up ? I have never had that done, just 5k, 10k, and 20k tune ups....so I gather a spring tune up will be similar to a 5k tuneup.....xenz said:If I'm bring in my bike to a shop for spring tune up, what should I expect the shop to do/change ? Will they sync the carb for me or will I have to ask for that ?
Did you change the oil prior to hibernation?vrecksler said:And really, how much of a tune-up is required? My bike went into storage near the end of November, and it was put to rest in excellent condition. Other than an oil change, I do not really see myself doing anything else for the new season.
It sounds like carb synching if it happens in summer and winter. Your bike should idle without wavering with the choke off.xenz said:Thanks everyone![]()
My bike for some reason, either in summer or winter, it need couple at least 2 to 3 start in order to get the engine running. And the engine just hestitate when under low RPM running. I thought they may look into this at the same time. Could it be the carb need sync ?
Not right before. It had a scheduled check-up about one month before I took it off the road, and an oil change was done then. I do not have to worry about fogging carbs or any of that stuff, I am hoping I can just change the oil and go.Hu99 said:

If you didn't ride too much during that month, then you might not even need to change the oil. Although as they say, you can't change it too often.vrecksler said:

is it bad to change the oil and filter too often?Hu99 said:

I'm not sure eitherRyan R said:When did suzuki introduce the fuel injection ? Was it in 99 or 2000 ? Guess Xenz bike was just before.
I don't know how to do carb sycnhing, I guess I need some specific tools to do that right ? OTOH, my bikes idle okay, just when I riding in, let say, 2nd gear with 8K RPM, and slow down to 4K and go back up, the bike hestitate/choke a little bit, if I pull the clutch in a tiny bit it will help smooth it out. I'm not sure if it's a problem or was it just need to be downshift.Hu99 said:It sounds like carb synching if it happens in summer and winter.

96-97 750's are carbs.Ryan R said:When did suzuki introduce the fuel injection ? Was it in 99 or 2000 ? Guess Xenz bike was just before.
