    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.

Looking for where to go for 4 VM carb kits for the 1000, just ordered my o-rings from cycleorings.com and the gaskets on the carbs need replacement now.

Where's the place to go for these?

Z1 Enterprises. Ask for Rob. He will fix you up fine.
 
The stock Mikuki jets are superior in most cases so it's recommended to reuse them unless you have a specific need to change them. Z1 sells gaskets by themselves which is a good choice.
 
I found K&L brand kits on-line for $19 each. They had everything, even a few spare parts.
 
Georgefix on Ebay sells K&L kits at a good price with great shipping time and prices.

Yeah, there are 'spare parts', but sometimes those parts are of lesser quality and will introduce new problems to your bike.

About the only part(s) you really need would be the bowl gaskets and maybe the float valves. Each of them is available separately much cheaper than the kits, and you won't have to worry about keeping track of some questionable parts.
