    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.

Ok --I just did a Cafe Conversion on my 1983 650L-Shaft drive-I painted,changed out the bars,new blinkers and seat-Bike was running PERFECT before I did all of this about 2 weeks ago-Now after finnaly getting it started its like the throttle is stuck-Its not stuck but the thing is Reving at like 4500 rpm-I did empty the carbs to see if any crap was in them and a little of the color paint I was using came out for like 1 sec than they ran clean=- The throttle is not stuck or twisted -When I give it gas though it bogs out--I again didnt touch or adjust anything to cause this! I just made it look nice!! Help!!!
 
Did you install pods? The changes you did should not affect the way it runs, but it sounds like there is fuel air problem, That being said, If you start it with the choke, it will rev 5grand easy. Once you wean it off the choke the idle will return to 1000-1200. If you haven't changed the airbox out, then I would examine the carb installation to see where it is drawing air.
 
From the sounds of it, there is a possibility that your throttle cable is pinched or poorly adjusted with the new bars.
 
Is your choke stuck on somehow? That will cause the RPMs to stay high on start, and if you try to rev before it's warmed up, it will also bog. Just an idea.
 
Some bikes need full choke, some bikes need 1/2 choke, some bikes need less than that.

Play with different settings of the choke knob/lever to see where it starts without revving sky high, then, as it warms up, keep the revs down by reducing the choke amount. Until the bike is on minimal choke and ready to ride, any throttle that you apply will defeat the choke, so only control your engine speed with the choke knob/lever.
