    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.

have a1983 suzuki gs 850g. 10750 miles. just got bike, previous owner installed a k&n air filter. runs good taking off but soon as you get about 1/4 to 1/2 throttle bike wants to kinda bog down some. Go past 1/2 bike runs very well. could the K&n filter cause this? also the bike between 50 and 60 mph it acts like it has a miss. could the carbs be dirty? should i get kits and have the carbs rebuilt?
 
if i go back to the stock air filter will that fix my problem?

It might but I doubt it. These bikes were lean from the factory. Do the shim. You'll be happy with it.
By the way have you done a
Valve adjustment
Carb cleaning + o-rings?
 
no have not done valve adjustment yet, mechanic is going to do it. i have a valve cover gasket leaking and the cyclinder head gasket and the base gasket. { leaking oil} . carbs have not been cleaned either that i know of. forgot to mention the bike is really cold natured. after warmed up the bike really does not have a hesitation when sitting still giving it almost full throttle. when he cleans carbs should i get carb rebuilding kits? what orings are you talking about and are they in the carb rebuilding kits?
 
Confused. Are jet needles the needles that connect to the diaphragms?
