he may need to clean out the tank & check the tank diaphragm.

That or a vacuum leak. You can find a vacuum leak by spraying wd40 around the intake areas and when the exhaust starts to smoke have a Jim Beam, you've found the leak.mohawk miss wrote:he may need to clean out the tank & check the tank diaphragm.

Re: zzr 250 idle
my only other suggestion would be the carby butterflies. They are known to wear & stick - I had a similar issue with mine before I upgraded to the 600.
