    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.

Not really sure if this is the right forum for the question but from the manual it could be close enough. Anyways here's the deal. I got my bike running after previous owner let it sit for 2 years. I was tuning the idle up after cleaning the carbs, and it sounded great idling just at 1100 rpm or so. after a few minutes the bike will raise the throttle by itself to 3000 or 4000 rpm. The throttle cable isn't hung up anywhere on the bike. I just dont know what to do. manual isnt really helping me right now so I'm hoping someone here knows what the problem is.

Hi Mr. oklahoma82GS,

What Mr. Nessism is trying to say is that you have classic symptoms of an intake air leak. Your bike needs some lovin'. In your "mega-welcome" are a couple of maintenance lists that will get your bike running like it should, if you take no shortcuts. So now let me lay some lovin' on you.... :)

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

I own a 82 GS850 GL. I ordered all the boots/ o rings for the intake and airbox. Thanks for the input I hope it works. This bike actually did have the o rings from what the diagram showed.
 
Hi,

Check out the Air Intake Repair guide on my little website. Did you use the proper carb cleaning procedure? There's a link to it on my little website too. Keep us informed.
