    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 has not power at 3500 rpm

I go above 3500, it pushes me into my seat.

Up to 3500 smooth power.

The engine has old gas going into it, and it never got completely warm.

Valve adjustment?
 
There is a power curve that occurs between 3500 and 4200 RPM. It feels almost like a turbo kicking in, and it's entirely normal. :-D I love it, reminds me of my old '70 Fiat 850 Spyder after I bored it (.40 over) and put in a 3/4 race cam; this bike came from the factory that way. It will push you back in your seat and give you an appreciation for the way they engineered this engine. The Japanese have been quite adept at adapting good designs and implementing those adaptations to good use.:-D

On Edit, you said "I go above 3500, it pushes me into my seat." , but your post said "has not power"......:confused: huh???:confused:

I'm guessing he means it has a stutter at 3500 revs but is ok everywhere else :-|

if thats the case it could very well be badly ajusted carbs, depending on the setup & health of the engine it could be stuttering on the changover from primary to main jets, its in the right rev range :)

more info needed really ! what exhaust is it running ? standard airbox or pods? standard jetting?

if all stock i'd clean carbs, set float heights to stock settings, same with air screws & sync carbs

Standard airbox and jetting from what I can tell. That makes all the sense in the world about primary v main jets. I didn't know about that. It felt like in a 4 barrell carb, when the primarys are working right, but the secondaries delay kicking on by a little margin.

My plan for today is to get some seafoam and start there. The cars were rebuilt a litte less than 3 years ago, but it sat for one of those years.
