    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.

Four into Ones

I have an '81 GS 850G --both mufflers rusted through. If I replace them with a four into one, will that require tweaks elsewhere? I thought about buying used but, chances are they would be as old as the ones I am replacing. Four into one isn't my preference but if it's a matter of taking the old ones off and putting new one on I'm good with it. I'm not looking to rejet if I can help it.
Thanks,
Mike Schuder

Not sure what you can get over there, but I recently fitted a 4 into 1 and ordered a street legal baffle (muffler) for it and it still has the OEM jetting and runs beautifully. Apparently the "racing" baffle (muffler) is very much louder and needs rejetting of the carbs. So it seems that if the exhaust is not overly free flowing (and not too loud!) then you should be OK.
 
Macs don't flow much better than stock. You may get away with very little or no tweaking.
 
I hear that in many cases there is no need to re jet as long as You stay with the stock airbox. If I keep the GSX1100G for many years I will probably face the same problem, stock system = Unobtanium and very few expensive options for a 4 into 1.
 
Not sure what brand is on my son's 850, but it's reasonably quiet. Main jets are 120 (stock is 115) and the needles are shimmed a bit, seems to be doing quite nicely. Re-jetting is not that bad, you just need to have an idea which way to go.

With all the help available on this board, I'd say "go for it". :D

You might want to Google "Marshall Deeptone" as several members have given that kudos.

They make an 850 4-1 exhaust

Whether you'll need to rejet remains to be seen. If you do, people here will guide you through it.

The parent company for Marshall also sells Jama exhaust systems. Reputed to make some nice OE equivalent systems although not easy to find here in the US.
