    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...

Looking around for options on where to buy a rebuild kit for my 81 GS450 carbs. Looks to have the Mikuni BS34SS carburetors. Thanks in advance.
 
No place.
Carb O ring set from cycleorings.com and a can of dip or ultrasonic cleaner.

Have you read the carb cleaning tutorial?
 
And one CV carb kit will do your set of carbs twice. See page three on Roberts oring site and measure the ID of the intake manifold oring groove and replace those as well when the rack is of the bike.
 
Yep, the carb kits suck. Do NOT buy them. Expensive and full of shonky imitation parts. That way lies only madness and pain.

Get a set of o-rings from cycleorings.com and follow the instructions...

If you need specific parts like floats, jets, or needles, then make VERY VERY VERY sure you are only getting OEM parts and not imitation crap.
 
As an aside...wiredgeorge is a sponsor on KZ Rider, or at least he was, and he had a tizzy fit finding fault with my advice to clean the brass and replace O-rings instead of buying aftermarket carb kits. After a couple of different run ins with him he announced that he won't post there anymore. Guess he wants everyone to bow down and worship his greatness.:rolleyes:
