    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    I finally found the cause

    Where might the two in the middle “in between” section go? Would that be capped as well or just routed to an empty space just to exist?

    I finally found the cause

    I see the line on top of carb two has an inlet that is capped off, however there are two lines that come from the inside. Are those supposed to be T to the vacuum line on the petcock?

    I finally found the cause

    Initially it did wonders but I made a slight adjustment to the idle screw and the high rev seemed to return again. I have to have something wrong here. I have done everything imaginable Ive replaced all jets, o-rings in the carbs (including diaphragms) bench synced the carbs New Intake boots...

    GS Valve Shim Club

    Do you happen to have any loose shims still available? I miscalculated and my educated guess… wasn’t educated enough I’m afraid. in my mad dash to figure out my exhaust shim size (installed upside down and in a negative clearance situation) I read about the swap here but that user isn’t...

    High idle in first gear? Gs450L

    They’re brand new O rings and boots. Surface cleaned with a rotary tool and installed snug as a bug

    I finally found the cause

    Because I simply haven’t yet. Been sorting everything else. Only now finding that it’s very important to do first before carbs or other components

    I finally found the cause

    Bought a gs450 and have sorted everything carb, o-ring and boot/ air hose related to no avail. Every configuration of adjustment I can find in a manual and still, the dreaded hanging idle at 4k in my case. One thing I’ve yet to do is valve adjustment. No ticking, easy start, wonderful sound… so...

    High idle in first gear? Gs450L

    Now it just seems to be happening out of nowhere, even in idle. Could the fuel line being pinched cause it? It has to be simple

    High idle in first gear? Gs450L

    I torqued the boots down firmly but tried not to over tighten in dear of stripping the cylinder threads

    High idle in first gear? Gs450L

    High idle in first gear? Gs450L

    While in first gear, my bike brings itself to 4k rpm and seems to hang there. I just replaced the intake boots and outlet hoses and taking a quick ride up the street that it wants to hang there. Noticed it when downshifting from 2nd to 1st, I was definitely slow enough for the gear change but it...
