    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...

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.

Hello.. I have a gs 550 with cv carbs.. Because i put 4-1 exauhst and i havent airbox on it i cant make it run correctly.. Im thinking to make a 2-1 intake (2 cylinders 1 carburetor) and put a mechanical carb like vm34 or smaller... Do you know if this is possible.? I ve seen there is a mod like that for cb750.. Thanks for any advise..
Ps.. I cant put airbox back on it.

I don't see how that would accomplish anything. If you can't replace the air box, pods & a lot of re-jeting & adjustments will probably be your only way out. Just my opinion. Later yrs. GS550's had 2 CV carbs, don't remember the size, for the 4 cyl eng. but they also need the air box.
 
You will need to get a jet kit from 6Sigma or Dynojet to make it run, plus some quality pods like APE or K&N

The CV carbs need a restriction to work properly. Let me guess- it revs to about 4k and won't go higher

Manifolds are possible, but seems like a long,hard way to resolve a simple problem
