    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.

My GS850L falls asleep over 5K, help!

It's all part of the learning curve. Ask questions/pick brains, do your assessment and acknowledge good advice.
Altitude has a hugh effect on air density and jetting. Just ask any pre-fuel injected Pikes Peak Hillclimbers who tried keeping fuel air ratios correct over the duration of the hillclimb.
Enjoy your 850 at 8000+
Cheers

I have modified the petcock so the vacuum isn't needed for fuel, so I know it doesn't have a fuel flow problem. I have everything apart for fuel today and re checked it. The mufflers are stock and it ran the same before I took out the intermediate muffler but I thought I just needed to clean out the fuel system. As for jets, the mains are 115's and torque and power are great at W.O.T. until around 4500 - 5000rpm.

How would you go about doing this(petcock modification) and what would be the downfalls of doing this? I have a slight suspect that mine is messing up. I have an 80GS750L and it is going to 6krpm and bogging down. Everything is stock.
