but it sounds clean, runs on all four, so thats out...next id look at electrical or clutch... coulda broke a plate maybe....

could still be carb related...getting gas and everything?

honestly have no clue, just going thru what i would do if i were u. never wrenched on a yammi b4, but carbs are carbs.

you could have a bad fuel filter
could have bad gas
could have gotten some trash in the carbs did u take em all apart and blow em out or just drop the bowls?
could have a bad/intermittent electrical connection to the coils or ignition.
clutch problems-check the adjustment on the cable, and i think fzr's have another adjustment where the cable goes into the case, and check the plates.
could be battery related-check voltage with it off, and then make sure its charging when running.

thats all i can think of for now. i know alot about old kawi's and suzuki's, not so much in the old yamaha repertoire

i really appreciate it, going to swap the spark plugs tomorrow just in case i rather start with the cheaper things and work my way up. gas is fresh i pumped a few days ago, took the carbs completely apart, didnt separate them from eachother, but every moving part was cleaned. I know there is an adjustment at the case which i will get into tomorrow.

It revs to redline in neutral, but not in gear? If it won't rev in gear, it sounds like the chain is too tight or the brakes are dragging. Maybe somethings wrong with the clutch or trans. Too bad you don't have a centerstand. I would put the bike on stands or a milk crate to check how the wheels spin first.

havent really messed with the chain at all since i bought it, im leaning towards the trans to. when in first it kinda sounds as if im trying to pull off from a stand still in 4th or 5th.
