You need to check all the basics (spark/fuel/compression/timing)
You have not mentioned compression, if it is low then the next step is checking the valve lash. Its all in the FSM which you can download from here.

Re: 84 GPz750 bogs and dies once hot
15 Aug 2025 16:00 - 15 Aug 2025 16:08Those are all on my list. I’m just baffled that for months while finishing things up I’ve been starting it and letting it run a minute or two 3-4 times a week and have had no issues with snappy throttle or what I have now. Then I think it’s ready to run, put all the body panels back, and now it’s not happy.You need to check all the basics (spark/fuel/compression/timing)

I did a compression test last summer and got 115, 120, 120, and 135 from 1 to 4.

15 Aug 2025 19:41If your valve lash is correct those numbers are low for healthy combustion, check the FSM for the spec. If you have black damp plugs your just not burning the fuel charge completely. May not be a carb issue after all.Those are all on my list.
