    where abouts is it running rich?
    idle, progression, quarter throttle to three quarter or flat out?
    you will need to alter a different circuit for each of the above, careful though as there is a MASSIVE effect on needle and jet changes on the GSXR11 at about three quarter throttle.

    has someone fitted a dynojet kit then returned it to standard airbox? changed exhausts recently?, what condition is the air filter? have you adjusted the valves recently? plugs cleaned and gapped/replaced?

    lots of questions.........neeeeeeeeeed more info.

    idle mixture screw is under the carb, close to the inlet manifold, infront of the float bowl...

    absolutely nothing to worry about, give it a good run to clear it out every now and then, and a GOOD service by someone who knows what theyre doing with "old-skool" and youll be well away :-)

    Would suspect a sticking float. If it's run fine until now. It's not the settings.

    also how rich?? Drips fuel, or a puff of black smoke?? As JD, need more info.
