I had a very similar problem with my Z1000, I followed all the carb advice to no avail too.

Hi All The head of the front engine mount bolt is all chewed up, so I bought a shiny new one. Then I found out why it was chewed up - the bold it seized solid, presumably in the ali cases. I have left it soaking in Plus Gas, but is there any likelihood that heat/penetrating fluid/beating to death wi...

Hi Everyone I just thought I would share my experience of fault finding a really annoying rough patch between 2 and 3k for the benefit of others who might suffer the same. The bike idled perfectly and pulled well after 3000 and the hesitation I was experiencing certainly felt like it was carb relate...

I checked the charge to the battery as part of my familiarisation process rather than actually having an issue and found it's not charging as well as it should. I have 12.3v across the battery with the engin...
