82 GS1100G wont excellerate after dynojet, pipes and pods

Also this:

Weapon, I haven't seen you offer him any advice on how to fix the great-running bike that he chose to screw up... Go for it.

Contempt for me and the OP, all in a single complete sentence with no helpful advice to be seen anywhere. This post perfectly illustrates the point I was trying to make. well done.

I don't really care what the OP does to his "L",and I don't really care to help if he is running some unknown pipe with no baffle with the wrong jet kit. Having said that I would also be surprised if it would not be made to run better than it does.

I would put the baffle back in and start changing the main based on what the plugs look like. There may be no solution other than getting the correct jet kit (for the needle), but this is the OP's problem is he expects any old thing to be thrown in and expected to work.

All in all it seems pretty hopeless and maybe I'll join the peanut gallery of grousers.

Remember everyone, Opinions are like anuses; everyone has one, and they usually always stink.

...and now, you have expressed yours. Smells just like the others.

Drill a hole in each head pipe and weld in a bung for a wide band O2. That should take the guess work out of tuning it for all ranges.

I had thought of that. I should have kept my old header for this.

Loud pipes save lives, it's has never been proven or disproven.
Or how about silent pipes saves lives?

All I can say is the one time I almost got run over crossing the street because of a !@#$@!#$ super silent electric vehicle. I can no longer rely on audible cues.

You don't need a bung. Just something to stick up the pipe.

Is it not better to have one reading per cylinder/exhaust?

There is a long copper tube on the end to get in front of the collector to avoid having air leaks corrupt your measurements.

You can make the tube to stick up any of the individual down pipes if you wish, but generally there is no need for different jetting across the carb bank.Having said that the stock 1150's run 1 size up on the main on the inner cylinders. On my 1166 I don't. I used a thermocouple to see if there were differences between exhaust temps which I saw no need for further individual cylinder monitoring.

You can probe up the exhaust but on some exhausts the opening is too small to fit the sensor through. Probably not an issue with an open exhaust though. In some cases the sensor's internal heater will not get them up to operating temps if too far down stream. Not always, but in some cases. Just depends on what sensor is being used, what controller is used and what condition the sensor is in.

Best to get the WB O2 sensor as close to the collector as possible. Most say about 30" from the head is ideal. I've tuned a fair number of turbo engines with the O2 bung inserted directly into the turbo down pipe.

Yea I was assuming a straight through design. Most seem to be. I has about 30" of copper rubbing running in fount of the collector. The sensor is outside of the can.

Try visual cues. That's why you have eyes...

You could very well be right, Don. I noticed that the OP's last activity was the same time the message was posted.

OK, who dunnit?

 

[seanarthurmachado]

On closer look we may have been had. Maybe I'm a little crazy but 8700 miles in 33 years is just over 260 miles a year. It would still be on first set of tires and brakes. Maybe I'm a little cheap (or poor) but thinking if I laid down cash for a new vehicle I would use it or sell it... Not let it sit around not being used till it's a history piece barely of the lot.

 

[Weapon]

or maybe after five or six posts of people basically telling him he is an idiot, he just didn't bother coming back.

 

[seanarthurmachado]

Weapon, I appreciate that you want new members to feel welcomed; we all do. However when a poster comes out and says they want to run straight pipes on the street (most obnoxious thing next to street stunting you can do) and try to justify it in the name of safety, then take what sounds like an extremely unworkable situation and try to make it work (open pipes, pods, random jets) and have others troubleshoot it won't go positively. You might as well retrofit a screen door on a submarine and ask others to help stop the leaks.
