Does this bike sound normal? was created by czentner
Hi guys,
The community here has been a great help in getting my non-running '84 GPz 550 find running. I had to order airbox parts and clean the carbs (several times) but now it will run and idle normally. I think.
Since I've never heard one of these bikes run before, I was hoping you could watch a short video and let me know if anything seems amiss. It sounds ok to me, but then I wouldn't know. The only thing I have not done is synch the carbs - the idle screws are all set to factory default of 2.5 turns out.

Set the screws at best idle and sync the carbs.

Sounds normal, a bit of tweaking and it will run a bit smoother.

Be sure the valves are in spec.
