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.

    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.

KN stage 1 jet kit for '85 gs1150ef
My kit tells me to "drill the slide lift holes"
I understand all aspects of the re-jetting but I'm not certain what I'm supposed to drill : ( :(
My manual shows no picture os the "slide lift hole"
please help.
P.S- should I run a dyno test before the re-jetting or just after?
:cry:
 
Your slides have a hole in the bottom of them. The jet kit will have a bit to enlarge the hole a tiny bit to work in conjunction with new slide springs for better throttle response.
 
oh,
The kit didn't say anything about purchasing new springs.
If this is the case, how do I know what size springs to get?
Is this procedure necessary?
-more confused :( :(
 
The K&N kit may not utilize new return springs. The Dynojet kits do. If not just drill the slides as per instructions.
 
ok just drill and use the old springs I got it.
thx! :D
Hopefully I can find this slide lift hole the picture in the instructions is poop! I've never taken apart carbs before, maybe i'll know it when I see it :?
 
It's on the bottom flat surface of the slide near the needle. You can't miss it. You'll need a set of hemostats or needle nose pliers to pull the circlip out that holds the needles in the slide. The kits make rebuilding the carbs a breeze. Just use the settings the kit calls for and you'll be in the ballpark tuning-wise.
 
Thx for the tips billy I appreciate it.
Im a little nervous cause I'm tackling this project tomorrow.
Got any other tips for a rookie?
 
It's a breeze. The most important thing to be careful about is drilling out the plug over the idle screws. Drill as close to center as you can so you don't screw up the threads underneath the plugs that the jets screw into. And use the proper size screwdriver for removing and adjusting them. The threads are very soft and easily damaged. One other thing you might want to consider doing is replacing the float bowl bolts with socket cap (allen head) bolts. The stock philips are soft and round out. It only cost a couple bucks to replace all 16, you'll be glad you did later.
 
right on!!!!!!!!
thats gonna be the easiest part for me...
there is no plug nothin but idle screw :D :D :D
Thx again!
