    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.

My GS700ES came with cheap pods which I replaced with K&Ns. No jetting had been done and of course it wouldn't run over 5,000 rpm. After reading some pod threads I decided to go with the recommended DynoJet kit and it has run fine since--although it gets about 38mpg on average which is a bit less than my 1100s.

Last time out I noticed that when I was coming off the throttle (after harder acceleration) the engine did not immediately slow as expected. The cable and linkage are operating freely. Is there something with the mixture that could cause this?

Right you are. Good call. No I have not. But I will now. I forgot all about those. I'm gonna go check their condition right now and order some. Thx!

I suppose coming off the throttle, the increased vacuum could pull air around those o-rings and maybe cause the symptom--is that what you are thinking or is it just a commonly ignored maintenance item?

Well, no need to order o-rings after all. They are like new. (I've only had the bike for about four hundred miles). The shop I bought it from apparently got that right. Surprising since they didn't know it needed to be re-jetted.
