    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.

Hey everyone, I'm a new guy here. My son and I bought a 81 GS450 for a whole 150 dollars. Its all there and will start but will not take gas. I have been looking for carb. rebuild kits but the closest I have found goes up to a 1978. It looks like the right kit but hard to tell from the picture. (Keyster Carb Kit). I have found the parts individually but I would like to find a kit. Anybody know where to find a kit? Thanks Mojo
 
You found the forum. Welcome! Now don't forget to search within the forum. Do so and you will very quickly learn that aftermarket carb kits SUCK. Stay clear. Get new O-rings from cycleorings.com and maybe some float bowl gaskets, and reuse all your other parts.

Check out basscliff's website and look up the 450 carb rebuild tutorial. Also feel free to check out the tutorial in my signature. A lot of the same elements crossover.

Good luck
 
I got my carb kits from Z1 Enterprises a few years ago. Just ended up using the float bowl gaskets only. Cleaned up everything else and my bike has been running with no issues.
