    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.

after all the work to remove the hanging Idle, i.e. new boot o-rings, new rings in airbox boots, and weather stripping the air filter in the airbox. I still had the hanging Idle. SO, I went and bought pods, I know I need to rejet, but I fired the bike up and let it idle, idles rough and no hanging idle( so I believe the issue is somewhere in the airbox.

My question is on my 82 850GLZ, does anyone know what sizes might be good for these K&N Pods? From the recommedations on the sheet with them, I was to calculate I would have to go to a #130 for the stock #115) main jet. But with the jet needle section on the sheet I was not able to discern wat they meanby a primary jet size. are they talking pilot jet or what?

If anyone out there as done this can you guide me just a bit? I hate working on carbs unless I have to, for they are so important to the bike.
 
Best bet is to fix it with the original airbox. If you're struggling to get it to run right with that on it won't be easier when you delve in to the murky world of re-jetting for pods, that's for sure.
 
I found my hanging idle problem was in the airbox, and I can't sort it out, Hampshirehog.
 
Did you put new weatherstripping to seal the air box? It should go around the lid. Try that out before spending money unnecessarily.
 
Well, I already got the pods, I wanted to do that to the bike anyhow. But I may have missed the cover on the airbox. I did the air filter where it sits in the airbox because that one was bad, but again not the lid or cover or door, whatever you want to call it.
