    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.

holes in the air box

I have recently reinstalled the factory airbox on my 83 1100E. The jets that are currently on the bike are 125's. The original owner of the air box drilled holes in it for better air flow. I need to find the corect size jets for it but don't know where to start with sizes and don't really want to buy a bunch of sizes i don't need. There is a lot of holes maybe the diameter of a pen. Should I start with 2 sizes larger or just stock?
 
or put some tape on the interior/ exterior of the box to cover holes...
 
Stock jets on your bike are
main jet 110
pilot jet 45

Someone already raised your mains. How do your spark plugs look? Are they dark (rich) or clean (lean)

So the previous owner didn't think removing the HUGE lid on the top of the airbox was enough to enhance flow on a STREET DRIVEN motorcycle? Too bad, another sad story of a hacked up stock airbox. Does your bike have the OEM paper canister filter, and do you have an aftermarket pipe?
