Hi,

Please search on Youtube for "GSXR400 starting problems Part1-3". I have 3 videos posted;

1. Trying to start from rest
2. Started & idling, missfire can be heard when revving
3. Bike running normal after a quick ride.

Please view the videos & let me know what you think is the problem, I'm want to sell my bike & need to sort this out before.

Many thanks

sounds like compression issues from experience with these. They do seal better as they warm. usually caused from running with carbs with o ring problems for extended periods

stripes maybe right about the comp. If not some things to try- When you fitted the o'rings are the pilot ones fitted well/correct (o'ring,washer, spring then screw), possible air leak that gets better as the part expands, weak spark- ive had the pick up give a similar problem.
