i think his jets were gummed up, and turning them cleaned up the gum/varnish and let it run.

sounds like carb is intermittently working.

does it have a bowl on it, that you can drop & clean, and maybe squirt it full of carb cleaner, then put it back on, and run that thru the bike.

I don't think its carb because its runs like a champ sometime and every
carb I have ever worked with - it either runs good or it doesnt. To be honest I have not really opened this thing up to much cause everything on it is expensive as hell. My father in law passed away and left me the bike so I can't sell it and I dont want anything to happen to it. There is a time to say, i you don't know shit about it, don't touch it and thats kinda how I feel. My zx6r, shit, I did everything on it and did not bother me a bit.
