Has anyone got any ideas Check the throttle cable, along with the slack when in the idol position, sounds as if the fuel pump is getting fuel in when it should not so much, throttle cable adjustment can slip or loosen up or vibrate loose over time, it may have been over tightened and the threads could have been striped at one time, there are a few ideas. The carbs could be ever so slightly getting air in around the flanges from loose nuts also? From what I understand is: You picked up the bike and road it home, the next day when you tried to start it up,,, nothing, just turns over and floods with spark. Would you happen to know much about the FZR 1000's altinator and what it means when the red wire starts to melt but when it is unplugged, every thing is fine except the batterie dosn't get charged? It has a 2 wire lead from the alt. I posted the question about August or July but never got any returns of any. Hay, good luck Twlyons1

Has anyone got any ideas Assuming that all else is normal ie that there is not too much petrol and all plugs are firing, I would say that the cranking speed, when cold, of the engine is too slow. This could be because the starter is knackered or the battery is no good or the earth (ground) needs cleaning/renewing. It probably starts from hot without any problems. It could also be that thee wrong oil has been put in it causing the engine to crank slowly.
