Hello Gents, nice to be mentioned in dispatches as it were, regarding jacking up, I don’t think it has dog bones, I think you’ll need to fit a longer shock. So when you get to it, measure it and investigate options….. Handlebar risers are a doddle….good luck with this…..Richard
You are very lucky; your carburettors are easy to get at. On my Yamaha Fazer, the carbs are level or straight to the inlet port on the engine and to do any work on them you have to take them off the bike. Can't even get to the inner bowls. The sliders in the carb on mine I polish stoned the sliders, including the guides to make sure they moved like silk, plus a little sewing machine oil helps. Also don't forget to clean the idle air flow, should be a idle mixture screw, take it out but first screw it all the way in while counting how far to screw till you hit the stop. this will mean you put it back in the right spot after you clean it out! You've got spark, so it sounds like it is one of the air passages in the carbs blocked. Just for your info, here is the video of my bike starting up after carb refurb. Notice how long it takes for fuel to get to the engine. th-cam.com/video/5_Pj_HEowBQ/w-d-xo.html Mark, removing carbs will help the seat height!

Thanks Richard very much appreciated. 👍
You could change the wishbones and put bar risers on it but wishbones may change the handling. It looks like a 600 the 900 is better.
Thanks Rowland. Much appreciated👊👊👍💙
