    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

ahhhh...finally runnning like a top.

After lots of trial and error and help from the good people on the gsr i finally got my 81 gs550t running great! Im running a 4 into 1 with a very lightly baffled straight pipe, and dual oval k&n filters. The PO had 130 mains and 45 pilots but i ended up using stock 40 pilots and 115 mains. I also cleaned the carbs and bit the bullet and purchased new carb boots, which made a world of differnce. I had to take the carbs off and and put them on about 8 times, which is not the easiest on this bike but it was well worth it to have it running so smoothly.
 
If the 550 is anything like the 650 and you are running with the airbox, I would guess you have ended up exactly where you should be.

Now go out there and ride

Considering that the stock jetting was 92.5, you might be a bit rich on the mains, but definitely a LOT closer than the 130s. :D

oops...darn multitasking bit me on the butt again. Didn't see the reference to the pods. :o

At least we agree that 130 is way too big either way.

I ended up at 115 on the mains with my 650 with the airbox and 4:1, keeping the stock pilots, and I'm pretty happy with it. Of course, the stock mains on the '83 650G were 110s.

Let's see some plug chops to get a feel for how your jetting is working.
