    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.

I... bike only has 3000 miles on it so i dont think the valves would be out of spec yet.

Why do you think the bikes came from the factory with a "First Service at 600 miles" sticker on them?

If you have not checked them, how can you know?

i think the bike is going to a shop next week because im tired of screwing with it ...

Good luck. Your bike is probably older than any "mechanic" at the shop. Also, most shops have a "10-year rule". Anything older than 10 years old is not allowed in the door. There is just too much chance that something is rusted and will break when they work on it, and the repair will easily exceed the bike's book value.

... im tired of screwing with it i tried every way i know today to get it adjusted right and it seems like i just cant get there.

Did you try what was suggested above? There were some very good suggestions, have not seen any reports except "i tried every way i know". Have you tried any of the ways that we know? (and suggested)

.
 
check your rubber diaphragm it sounds like you have a small hole or rip in them
 
ok

ok

new orings are on the way from cycle oring as well as intake orings i will be checking the valve clearances when i get home anyone know whee to get stock pilot jets from
 
Your machine appears to be a fine example of it's vintage.It's sometimes not so much the miles but as much or more the age of 30 yrs. sitting around.The atmosphere is tough on everything.Many unseen problems caused by plain old aging.Any how don't despair .I (WE) feel you can overcome these ,most or any of your GS shortcomings.Believe me ,as was also said:you need to be the one working on the GS or co-opting with trusted others.Go back to stock and basics your best route.If you live in SE Mi area let me know,I would take a look see w/you on situation.But these great folks on GSR,your manual(s),time, study and efforts can win the day.Hang tough...

Replaced pilot jets with new stock #35 replaced all o-rings in carbs vacuum tuned them set mixture screws to two turns out also replaced all o-rings between the carb boots and the head set the float height to the manual spec of 20.5mm bike starts perfect and runs great BUT it breaks up around 6500 rpm but if you get past it then the high jets kick in and it runs fine again so it my guess that i have to move the needles up a hair to get a little more fuel? any suggestions welcome
