    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.

Cold air intake?

I want to take out the stock air filter box and put in pipes that feeds air into the stock carbs from either side... Would this be a wast of time? I want to give my bike a cold air intake look...
 
Hi Mr. strat,

Most of these GS bikes are very particular about the air intake system. When you stray from stock you stand a chance of getting lost in a carb jetting wasteland, lots of experimentation, plug chops, and jet changes to get it set up properly. But with enough time, skill, and money anything is possible.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

You might be able to do it, but it won't be unique. Yamaha's been doing it for years on the V-Max.

Pretty much all modern sportbikes have a ram air/cold air intake. Maybe you can model it after them, such as the intake tubes seen under the headlight on the GSXR 1000.

Even my 1980 Volvo has a cold air intake as standard. Snorkle is under the bumper then it goes to a air box then finally to the injectors via a 75 mm tube. pretty trick for a old car.
