We are in South Africa, and I own a Kawasaki zzr1100 d jear 1994 model. When standing still and idling you get clean revs up until 10000rpm. When you take the bike for a drive it starts jerking and stuttering. It is more fluent in first gear, but when you go to second gear and up the problem starts getting worse and it stutters more. We started with cleaning the fuel system, then redone the entire head (valves etc.).We replaced the petrol pump. We balanced the carburetors. We haven't done any electrical checks, as we do not own a workshop manual or an electrical guide. Please can you advise us on timing marks and settings or provide us with a solution.
The carbs have been balanced but not synchronized? Each of the four carb slides needs to begin to open at the exact same time. Being out of sync can cause your problem. The balance and sync on a four cylinder bike is best done in the shop. If you try it yourself have a fire extinguisher handy. < < I am serious here.
Since the carbs have been cleaned and 'adjusted', I will take the liberty to note the air screw and the idle screw factory settings and how to set them. On each carb, GENTLY turn both screws inward until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw outward one and one half turns. Now you are back to the stock settings.
If your bike has CDI ignition, the timing is preset and is not adjustable.
