I would welcome any input on my predicament. I went to go out for a spin last week I had about half a tank of fuel and I added a small amount of redex (about 40ml) then rode to the local garage 1/2 a mile away and topped up , it was my first time out this year due to being busy, anyhow my 2004 fzs1 started ok as it always has but sounded a bit lumpy as I backed it out of my garage it stalled then took a few goes to restart I put it down to old fuel in the line and set off to top up. it started ok after I had fuelled up but continued to run a bit ropey, loosing power then picking up again,a couple of miles later the problem got worse then the bike backfired a couple of times and stopped, and stayed stopped I got rac recovery out to take me home. when it was trying to start kerbside it sounded like it was only running on 2 cylinders and the exhaust was blueish. I had last started the bike about 6 wks earlier and ran it for 15mins , it was fine
my mate and I stripped out the carbs and cleaned them 2 jets looked to be blocked, the fuel pump looks to be working ok, doesn't look to be the head gasket ,took the rad cap off and it seems ok. Not sure which way to head next without getting a garage to pick it up and start paying
