doesnt suck at all if you know what you're doing, and you're not doing bar-tricks. most carbed bikes have great idle and easy throttle response.. like the f2's. the fireblades were great too!

I agree,, as i had to change the gears in mine and it is the second gear that goes bot tou will end up changing the cogs for second and 6th gear.

yeah the best carbed bikes are the hondas I think my f2 was great was almost able to do sitdown no handers

I was lucky enough that my 2nd gear never went out.
Always make sure your carbs are clean...mine got dirty and my bike would shut off on coasters and stoppies sometimes. I cleaned them and was good to go.
The only thing that really went wrong with mine was the rectifier...I replaced it 3 times.
Other than that I loved the bike. Throttle response was good. It had awesome low end power.
I actually miss it a little bit.
Oh and your frame tabs where your subframe connects will break before your subframe snaps. One of mine was cracked and had to have it fixed.

my bike runs great till it warms up then wont rev over 4k without cutting out and no power. still have no idea what it is.. No vaccume leaks. Carbs are tight and just ran sea foam thru it and blew smoke and cleared out a little then did the same thing. Just dies out like its flooded

i have never ridden a carbed bike for more than ten or fifteen minutes when i worked at the dealership... all my bikes have been injected
