    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.

GS1000 idle setting

I cant seem to find it on 81 GS1000g.
I see it in the book but too blind to see on the bike.

I am idling to fast 1500 or so.
 
Should try to hold 1000-1100 RPM's. If you can't get the RPM's to drop after the bike is fully warmed up, there is a good chance that you are pulling in air from around the intake boots, air box, or associated clamps.
 
You have to shove your hand in (I wear a mechanics glove or riding glove when doing it, it's hot in there) & it is a little wheel on the airbox side of the carbs right in the middle.

From memory you turn it anticlock to reduce the idle. Aim for about 1100.

:lol: I just remember well.... Actually I think I worked this one out on the side of the road :D
 
thanks salty

thanks salty

I will look for it.
I had hope there is one adjustment & note each carb.
 
No, it's just a thumbwheel that. It basically moves a stop that the throttle plate hits when you come off throttle.

If you look at the fiche on http://www.bikebandit.com you'll see the thumbwheel on there but you can't really miss it!

Clockwise will raise your idle and it is easier to turn if you give it a little throttle when turning it so the tension of the throttle plate is off of it just in case you have to go back up with the idle.
