    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.

If you have a stock exhaust, airbox, & jetting, you might want to start with inspecting the intake manifolds & orings in them for leaks. If those are all ok, I would first remove the mixture screw plugs & adjust the mixture screws CORRECTLY. Second, I would shim the stock needles .040-.060 to raise them UP & richen them a little. Factory Suzuki jetting is notorious for being lean & these things I just mentioned help GREATLY! Make sure you check the carb sync after this also. Ray.
 
After doing all that, you might try syncing carbs., that should help. terrylee
 
There are (or should be) some "sleeves" in the exhaust system that act as gaskets between the various pieces. If these are boogered up or missing, they can cause popping and backfiring.

If the gaskets between the cylinder head and exhaust are missing or munged, you'll hear a tapping noise, especially under load, and you can also get popping and backfiring.

All the usual checks for intake system leaks apply as well, of course... seal your airbox, good intake boots & o-rings, etc.
