    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.

Hi there,Ihave recently purchased a gs 700e american import which i believe they all were at this cc.All is standard except for a harris 4-1.Checked valve clearances,carbs seem fine but haven't stripped,new plugs all electricals test out okexcept for one ignition coil on output side gives a reading of 47 k ohm.The other on pots 2+3 only 16k ohm.Book says 35-50.The bike starts fine ,takes a little while to warm up but ticks over great.Revs cleanlyto 6.5-7000 in any gear but will not rev any more and this equates to about 80-90 mph in top.What should the standard sprocket gearing be could it simply be this or could the coil ,pipe ,or carb be a problem.Greatful for any help on this.
Cheers Mick.
 
What color are your plugs? Sounds like a fuel issue, perhaps.
Most certainly not your gearing, since it performs the same in any gear.
 
Sorry never mentioned plugs are correct colour,there wasn't any sort of limiter on these bikes was there?, as thats just what it feels like, it gets to the same revs but doesn't even splutter and try to go any more .
 
On the carb side of things they are broke down into throttle positions, not rpms. If you hit a dead spot with the full throttle than you either have issues with your main jets(clogged or too small) or your jet needle isn't rising out of your needle jet opening up your main jet which could be a diaphragm issue. Or your spark could be weak and your putting out the fire with gas at full throttle positions.
 
Thanks for the info i think i'll have to take carbs off and investigate a little further.
