    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

If u think fighting with the air box assy. was fun, put some pods on and you will be days tuning it proper. Lots o fun there lol. Just saying, stay stock. it's a 650. you are so close now it's almost over, carb sync is all that's left providing you did your valve adjustments already.

Yeah I hear they can be fun to tune for although it seems that most of the people that I read about having issues didn't buy a complete jet kit and were just throwing jets at it. I know there are many bikes out there that just a simple main jet increase and shim under the needle is all they need but some must have a differently tapered needle. With that said hopefully it will be a while until I need to pull them again. I did find a cheap DJ jet kit on eBay that I went ahead and bought and got it under glass for the "just in case" situation. It was a no reserve auction with free shipping and I got it for $11.50. I think that was a pretty killer deal. I still haven't had time to do the valve adjustment yet, but it is definitely on my list of winter "to do's". I had the bike out this morning for a ride and it runs fantastic, but I still will do the valves just to check it off the list. Here is picture of the bike when I got back this morning. Mother nature was kind enough to hold out on the rain for me...
