    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...

    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 sizes for an '82 GS650G?

I'm rebuilding a set of carbs for this '82 GS650G and the float needles are too shot to save in all four and since I'm about to do some rejetting on my GS750EF I'm might as well upgrade these carbs to a known "jet set" if there is one.

So what works on your bike? One size up on the mains maybe? Any other jets to change from stock? I'm going to have to drill out the pilot jets if they need to be changed, each of them is clear but the heads had been stripped out before I got there. I swear!

I also have a spare set of GS750ES carbs around that are pretty fresh, with 117.5 mains I think.

/mac: goes looking for a GS650 manual.

thanks for the info Hoyterb!

I was really looking for information on other jet sizes. Is the stock jetting good on this bike or do peopl generally go up on one or some of the jets?

I know this is a little bit like asking "Whats the best oil to use in my GS?".....

I'd stick with stock unless you have a specific problem you're trying to fix or the bike has aftermarket exhaust/air filters. I don't think an '82 650 would be jetted overly lean from the factory or anything.
