    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.

79' GS1000 problems...

Ryan, I'm pretty sure I'm correct about the cutaway sizes. You would think Sudco would know, but I'll bet if you ask, the person answering the phone might just look at that same page and tell you what he sees. I'm not sure how to prove it. Maybe Mikuni Corp. themselves? If Sudco's chart is wrong, that's a major screw up. A Suzuki/Kawa' would never run right.
ALL VM equipped Suzuki's and Kawa's use the 1.5 slides in the stock carbs. I see no reason the "aftermarket" 29's would be any different. Honda uses the 2.0 slides, so their chart is off. Yes, the slides are expensive, so you have to know the parts inside before buying. I visited Sudco a couple years ago and they told me parts are getting rare, especially the slides. The person behind the desk said even HE 8O was having trouble rebuilding his set of 29's. I decided right there to give up my quest for these carbs. Only if I found a very clean set, preferably the coveted "pre-jetted for the Motorcyclist GS1000 project bike by V&H", would I try them. Just too much hassle. These are the best carbs for all around performance for the 1000 though. By far.
