Thanks, that's a good idea I ended up just buying a used carb set from Peterborough Cycle Salvage. Problem solved - bike runs like a champ.

Have any vids? I'd like to see a video of a 250 rear locking up when down shifting into 5th, or 4th

On his bike the throttle stop screw/idle adjustment screw is the one he's been adjusting. This is correct.

It's not sold seperately, and I need one. 1999 SV650 Just need a single float bowl. Anyone have an otherwise busted carb? Thanks

If deceleration on a 250 in 5th is way too much deceleration, why not just leave it in 6th. How can 5th gear decell ever be too much?

If you have any friends with a GS500 - swap bikes for a short ride and compare results.

You'd have to either be in the middle of a corner, or way high in third gear, then drop to second - wait for rpms to come to idle, then dump the clutch.... even then, if going straight, on a ninja 250 only a little stutter would result.

+1 to that.

MY GF's GS500f is very smooth to ride - chopping the throttle closed from mid RPM's in second gear results in a gentle / casual deceleration. it's very very un-dramatic. Another thing, if your GS500 clutch is not slipping during acceleration, it's certainly not slipping during deceleration...

Don't chop it slightly, chop it fully. Correct You were told by who? Pretty sure the service manual will read " turn the adjustment screw until resistance is felt - then back it off 1/2 turn (or a 1/4 turn) or some amount of turns. There should certainly never be any pressure there when the...
