    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Bike will not go any faster then 50mph

If you are sitting on the bike, from left to right, the cold cylinders are #2 and #4 and the hot ones are the #1 and #3. As far as I know, all cylinders are firing since if I have the bike running and pull any of the plug wires the bike dies.

What else could it be? or am I overlooking something?

Thanks,
Manny

If cyl #2 and #4 are not generating power then pulling any plug wire will cause the motor to try to run on only one cyl, and it ain't gonna happen. Maybe, if #2 & #4 are indeed firing, those cylinders are fuel starved. Check those two carbs.
 
You probably already did this but...try a fresh set of plugs and make sure the gap is right. That was my fix when I had this problem. Sometimes the simplest thing can do the most good.
 
ok can try that tomorrow what are the gap setting for gs650gl

thanks
