    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.

After searching and only finding "how to's" for 4 cylinder Gs's. I felt I had to ask.
2 1/2 turns is the starting point for the idle screw, Right?
I cleaned both carbs, but I did not mess with them thinking the idle was great before.
(I know that was dumb now)
I counted the complete 360* turns and they where both set at 6 full turns.

If you did not take them out and clean out the passages then you haven't "cleaned" the carbs.

6 full turns is almost falling out - what is the bike running as far as exhaust / airbox.
 
If you look on Basscliff's website he has a rebuild tutorial for the 450 carbs.

2.5 turns is a good starting point. At more than about 3.5 or 4 turns the circuit will be maxed out.

It has the stock airbox with a bad diy filter. Also has the stock pipes but the mufflers look to be "uncorked".

Hard to tell from the pic, but if I was you I'd re-clean the carbs (take out the idle screws this time) and try it with 2 1/2 turns. If it's too lean, then adjust them out.

If you get to 6 turns then you need a larger pilot jet.
