  • 98 kawasaki running funny...

    i have a 98 kawasaki 1100 stx and it seems to be running funny. whenever i go to accelerate it starts to run sluggish and tops out at 35 mph, after keeping it pinned for a few min. it opens up and runs just fine until i let off the throtle then it goes back to running the same way it was. i've been told that it might be my carbs. can anybody help me...

      take the fuel filter out and look at it and clean or replace it if possible, thats what happend to me.. but it had a few other issues, but that was one of them. seemed like it was fuel starving, sure enough I replaced the fuel filter and it ran good :-)
