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.

All of the data from my exhaust probe was corrupted, so what I believed then, was bad information. I also got a set of RS36's and the exhaust probe said they were also rich, the plugs didn't agree but I dropped a needle slot and a jet size.
Recently I made a 2.5" stainless steel O2 sensor adapter that fits between the 4-1 header collector and the muffler on the Kerker. Now the AFR readings are more consistent and after living with the gauge for a while I can see that the "as delivered" carb settings were probably correct.
I've now returned the jet and the wide-open throttle numbers look good, part throttle was still lean so yesterday I returned the needles to the middle slot, where they were and am hoping for some dry weather for a last good ride before winter puts an end to it.
I also got a set of Oval K&N's for it, I'm looking forward to watching the AFR changes in a side wind. If needed, I'll make an air-box type of wind control for them.
Why did I do all of this? Even this old dog enjoys learning and fabricating. I still have not been to the drag strip on it. Am I Chicken? Probably yes. I have made the clutch slip iin second or third gears on an industrial road so with traction I'll probably find that it needs some work.

Pod filters and open bell mouths are notorious for this. I remember tuning my 83 GSX750E (16" front wheel) back in the day after fitting a nice set of chrome cap oval K&Ns and an air jet correction kit, and being amazed that I could effect the mixture at cruise by changing the position of my knees. Then in a rainstorm the K&Ns got soaked and it blubbered until they dried up enough to pass enough air. I swore off fitting pods after that. The minor top-end improvement that I'd occasionally access wasn't worth the grief.
