    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.

Main air jet and pilot air jet Mikuni BS34SS 49150 on 81 gs1000gx

The spec sheet gives a size for main air jet(1.7), but not for pilot air jet. The main air jet current diameter in these carbs is 1mm. The pilot air jet is labeled 180.

What should they be? The main air jet does not look factory installed.
Previous owner re-jetted for foam pods. rest of bike showed signs of poor knowledge. ie all valves 1 to 2 shims out. side covers lost. ignition switch key and fuel tank punched. starter clutch wrecked. tank rusty. no title.

bike has 18.5k miles and other wise looks clean.
I have adjusted valves and cleaned fuel tank, replace ignition switch and fuel cap with ones that have a key. starter clutch repaired. started title work. Now working on putting an air-box in and overhauling carbs back to original spec. I have carb kits coming from jets r us. and have the o ring kit already. Wondering how to make sure air jets are correct.
