    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.

Are you missing any parts? You can get an oring kit from Robert Barr www.cycleorings.com and bowl gaskets from the dealership. That's usually all you will need, unless you are missing parts. You might try checking with a dealer or shop that carries K&L carb kits. They might have a listing. Or if you are missing parts, you might have to go to Mikuni direct.
 
No Parts missing, 3rd year running the bike and have rebuilt front and rear ending during previous winter months, thought I would pay attention to carbs this year.

Bike started to smoke this year, right side exhaust, really inconsistently, but enough for it to be embarrasing. Did the normal stuff like check compression and all cylinders where 150lbs. Spark Plugs on cylinders 1 & 2, non-smoking side, were the right color, brownish grey, cylinder 3 was somewhat carboned and cylinder 4 was really carboned up, black.

2 places left to look at, is carb(s) running rich on cylinders 3 & 4 or is valve seal at fault. Carbs needed a good cleaning and and by default will be re-adjusted, I'll do this over the winter. If it still persists when rebuilt carbs are back on the bike then I'll look at valve seals.

Thanks
