    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.

BS36 carbs

I picked up a 82 GS1100e for close to nothing. It has the BS36 carbs on it. Is there really an advantage to running those? I?m no motorcycle pro mechanic, but I assume the 4v motor would have a hard time creating enough vacuum to make them work right. I did pods on my 1000e and 1100gl with BS34?s and those were a PITA to dial in. What are some of you running for carb setup on your 1100 4v motors?

Stock carbs, pods, supertrapp, and jet kit. Beyond that, I can't help much.
 
The 36's are a pretty common upgrade from the 34's. I had a set from an 1150 on my es before going to RS flatsides.
 
i have 36's on my es....along with pods, yosh pipe, and dynojet stage 3. I have no comment on the perf upgrade as the switch was done before my ownership, but many say it is worth it.

As indicated by others even a stock (no internal changes) 1100E can Handel bs36 carbs. Most times this is in conjunction with pods,pipes jetting as a minimum. I also had 0.340” cams which worked well but got even better with 1166 kit.
 
As pos said. Pods, pipe, jetting. I was running 1150 cams at the time, degreed in with stock head and bore. Later went with 1166 kit and mildly ported head and .34 cams and flatslides.
