Hi,this might help,it is very difficult to get the adjustments right without a set of carb balance gauges,the adjustments are very small and critical to the running of the bike,borrow or buy a set of gauges,hook up the gauges,balance the left two cylinders together so they are both running exactly the same,then do the two right cylinders and get them both running the same,then match the two sets  together using the balance screw between no2 and no3 cylinders,a general rule of thumb to get a startng point is to wind the mixture screws in untill they stop,then back them out about 1.5 turns,do the same to all four screws before you start trying to balance the carbs,make sure the bike is sitting vertical or on the centre stand because if it is not it will effect the balance of the carbs and also make sure you have a good airflow over the front of the motor for cooling as it will take half to three quarter of an hour to get the balance right...most bikes need the carbs rebalanced on a regular basis because when the parts of the carbs start to wear the balance will change,a good set of carb balance gauges is a worthwhile investment...hope this helps

05 suzuki katana 750 idle issues

Idle issues can be fuel/air (mixture ratio) or igition (spark strength). It sounds like an air restriction issue. If there is no blockage throught the air inake/filter, make sure you adjust the jets to specifications and make sure there are no float issues with the carbs.

Idle speed problems

Hi Walker14,

You have to sync thecarbs and also you will have to reset the air-fuel mixture screws.
One of the carburators should be factory adjusted, I dont wn a kawasaki but I own a YAMAHA SECA XJ750R and thro it I am sharing my experince.
Once you have located the factory preadjusted carburator you can thn set the others to its specs. I use the feeler gauge to do for my bikes carburators and it works fine.
With regards to the mixture screw..... get the all in tightened but slowly aas to not damage the pin end of it!.
Start the bike and get it to normal running temp and thn set the screws 2 and half turns out...you may need to set your idling speed before you begin this setting of the mixture screws, you prolly will hveto go higher on revs or vicecersa ....onc eyou are at the mixture screws and adjusting them , you will surely note the differenc ein sound of he bike an its idling ..
Hope this will help.


Knight.
