My 2000 W650 was running poorly for several months. Engine would
break up on light acceleration or when engine/weather was cold.
Engine started & idled fine and was good on heavy throttle. The
Kawasaki dealer overhauled the carbs. The problem was the diaphram on
the vacuum valves. A very expensive repair as the vacuum valves are
$105 each. The repair was a success. Don't know what caused
deterioration of the diaphrams.

Bill,
Not bad for a dealer price; I just checked royayers.com and they are
listed there for 90 bucks apiece.
