    Fairnig Installation

    I have an 82GK that has been de-K'd. So it's got an aftermarket headlight and turn signals. Also different handlebars. I also have an emgo fairing but I'm not sure how to fit it. The light is too low and or too far back and the turn signas are part of the headlight bracket and are in the...

    4 into 1 Exhaust and Flat Spots

    I did read that in the carb rebuild guide I found here. How do you know how much to reduce it? By how many tenths of a mm should I step down each time?

    4 into 1 Exhaust and Flat Spots

    I did not! I read the service manual for carb sync and I believe the middle two should be different from the outer two. Not sure if it’s higher or lower as it just says the balls should be just below the midline on the special vacuum tool. I didn’t know they needed to be the same. Will give...

    4 into 1 Exhaust and Flat Spots

    82 GS1100 GK. Stock pilot jets. One size up on the main jets. Delkevic 4 into 1 exhaust with the center baffle removed. Bike idles perfectly and runs great overall. However, it has a flat spot in the midrange under acceleration. I read somewhere here on an old thread that 4 into 1's can do...

    Hard clutch pull

    To all of those who said it was the clutch cable, you were right! My clutch cable broke yesterday about 10 miles from home. I had to ride all the way back home without stopping in 7 AM. Traffic! What an adventure that was! I got the replacement clutch cable today and installed it and low and...

    #2 cylinder always rich and fouled

    Well, the rebuild kit did nothing. It's still sucking fuel past the diaphragm. Albeit, less fuel but I can still see activity in the clear tube. And now it leaks as well. :/. Probably from me over tightening it after realizing it still wasn't working. Looks like I'll be ordering a whole...

    #2 cylinder always rich and fouled

    So I already have a petcock rebuild kit that I can't return that I ordered some time ago. I may just give it a go. If that doesn't work, then I'll just replace the whole thing.

    #2 cylinder always rich and fouled

    I pulled the vacuum line so I can go match it up with some clear line of the same size and I did notice it was wet on both ends and it does smell like gas. should there be any gas at all in there? My guess is probably not.

    #2 cylinder always rich and fouled

    Huh.. I hadn't considered that. How would I check that? From what I can tel the petcock doesn't seem to leak.

    #2 cylinder always rich and fouled

    New to me 1982 GS1100 GK. PO changed the main jets to 120. Pilots are stock 40's. Original air box. Delkevik 4 into 1 exhaust with the center baffle removed. All pilot screws are set at 3 turns out using the engine RPM as a guide. The bike starts and idles perfectly and runs really well at...

    Broken Fork Air Valve!

    Thanks! But I think I'm going to just replace the springs and forego the air all together. One of the rear shocks is also leaking, so I'll probably just replace those with conventional shocks as well.

    Broken Fork Air Valve!

    So are we talking about simply replacing the springs only? When I look up springs on the race tech site there's something there about a valve emulator and modifying the dampening rod.

    Broken Fork Air Valve!

    Great advice and thanks!! This is the kind of answer I was looking for. New springs it is!!

    Broken Fork Air Valve!

    After putting some air in my front left fork and re-installing the cap, this happened. :(. The Air valve assembly just broke off! I should have known something was up as it was very difficult to add air and kept leaking. I supposed it was cracked this whole time and finally gave out. I found...

    Thanks for the tip about partshark! I did get the service manual from Big Cliffs but I didn’t think there were many exploded diagrams in it. But lo and behold, I went back through it and found that exact same one!

    Best way to find air leak?

    Huh.. I read that higher octane doesn’t make any real difference. Maybe the ethanol free is what did it? I just filled up with ethanol free. So we’ll see!
