    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Hey GS Resources, I'm a long time reader and first time posting. I have a 78 GS1000 fit with Mikuni VM26 carbs. Unfortunately this is my first carb clean and tune, therefore creating some problems. I tightened the fuel needle to far and the tips have broken off. I need to replace 3/4 needles. Where do I get these needles? I have checked on ebay and all around the internet with no success. It's really the only thing keeping me from riding, thanks.

Z1 carries them. Have you gotten the tips out of the holes?

I have yet to do it, researching on how I should go about doing it. But good news is only 2 holes are clogged, so that makes a little less work. Also, the Z1 needles are much longer, more specifically the part opposite to the needle is stretched for some reason, but I don't think anything aside from thread and needle length has much to do with fitment correct?
