    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.

Air Mixture adjustment

I just purchased an 86 GS 1150 that has an 1100 engine in it.
I'm pretty good at carb cleaning and adjusting and have already completed the internal cleaning, but need some help.

1100 engine has GS 1150 carbs with 138 main jets, header pipe, and KN pod filters.

I am about to attempt a carb sync but seems like I'll have to have the air mixture set before doing the carb sync.

My guess is I have to turn the air mixture screws all the way in then back out 2 to 3 turns, or waht ever is needed.

I'm just not sure that's the correct procedure. Can anyone confirm the process?

Lucky you. You have a Dynojet kit installed.
Pull the needle out and make sure you are on the third notch from the bottom. You may have to lean 1/2 a notch from there.

Run the motor at a low idle. Turn in each mixture screw until the motor starts to drag. Bring out the screw until the idle smooths out. Do this one at a time to all idle mixture screws.
