    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.

Can anybody help before i spend some money.Standard airbox, jetting, except for a harris 4-1.Spent some time setting mixture screws did leak test but it idles loveley anyway-1100rpm no up and down just steady.Problem i have is about 6000 rpm in top gear the rev counter starts to go up and down( as in the needle on the gauge)and the engine seems to start what i can only describe as a misfire for about the last 1/4 throttle position.Could the ignitor box cause this?Is this where the rev counter works from?or am i looking at a fueling problem, although with a plug chop they look o.k maybe very slightly light but i dont think that bad.

Any help appreciated cos this is really spoiling an otherwise good bike-Starts first time every time gives around 55 mpg.Was thinking of an aftermarket ignition set up if it is the box.But not sure with the symptoms.

PS Its a GS 700E done nearly 28000 ,if its genuine,doesnt use any oil ,have checked valve clearances etc.
Thanks Mick
 
I think I would be wondering about coils. Considering it is a GS we always go first to carbs but your talking about running on the mains. My limitied knowledge of bikes and cars leads me to believe that when you are over 5 grand and you have a problem it is not an adjustment issue but a real basic issue.
 
Already changed the coils and leads and plug caps from a 1200 bandit that i know are good.
Thanks for the idea anyway.
 
the only thought I have is that you need bigger mains to compensate for the 4 to 1 pipe you may be running too lean what are plugs reading? I have stage one jet kit on my 700 4 to 1 pipe and k&N drop in filter so I am running basically the same setup as you and I have good power through the range.
