    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.

Jet needle sizing

I'm jetting my CV32 carbs and I'm trying to find out what the next richer Jet Needle would be. Stock they are 5C28, the 1000 and 1100 come with 5D50 which seem like they would be richer but I can't find any info on either. About the only thing I can determine is that they are the same diameter, length and taper I don't know.
 
If you just want a smig richer, you can change the needle height by reducing the thickness of the spacer on top of the needle clip. All explained in the rebuild tutorial linked in my signature.
 
I have it at the max, the needle is raised as high as it will go. From 1/3 throttle on it has a flat spot, a stumble. I know it's lean because when I richened the needles it got better but still needs more. I'm leaning on the needles from a GS650E, they are 5C45s which from what I can tell should be richer and have more taper on the lower section of the needle.
 
Is the bike stock or running pods and pipe? Is the stumble at a steady throttle 1/3 throttle? Or slowly winding on -to and past- 1/3 throttle? Is the jetting stock or is it fitted with a jetting kit?
 
It has pipes and pods, In neutral it will wick up beautifully its when I ride is if I try to wick it on it flat spots around 1/3 throttle.
 
Find Zed and order up some air correction jets
