    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 my first post- I own a 84 Sb4S Bimota. GS1100 motor I think a E. euro spect, bone stock. Hasnt run in 10 years and need some help sorting things out. Is there any Guru's around northern Ohio??. I appreciate any help or comments-dave
 
change the oil, fuel, clean the carbs, dumb some drops of oil in the cylinders, new plugs, new battery and fire it up
 
OOOHHH, nice bike, Had an SB2 back in the dark ages. Use the forum and the search to find what and how stuff works. There are guys and girls on this forum that have experience and access to information that will get you what you need to get it running.Start with a fresh battery to get the starter to spin. If it has spark, it should lite off on carb cleaner in the intake. if the carbs are gummed up. Let us know if it Runs/Doesn't run.
What was the reason it was put away? and if you don't really want to mess with it you can give it to me

I changed the oil and filter, new plugs, fresh fuel and filter, new battery- fires up but runs aweful- KN's are on it and I sourced a airbox so as soon as it arrives I will try it with the box Im hoping for a big improvement.
 
If the PO did it correctly, you may be looking into a rejet on the mains. Which exhaust are you running...stock / 4 into 1?
 
From memory the Bimota frame won't accept a standard air box. It's probably running rough due to gummed up carbs.

Nice bike though.....

Its running the Bimota 2 into 2 exhaust. The SB4 ran the original Suzi airbox. I wanted to fit the box before evaluating the jetting. ( I also cleaned the carbs) The bike wont rev but will do so with the choke- I thinking the box will richen it out, but to what extent I dont know. I'm hoping the jets that are in it are the orginals and it will run well. Bike has 9 k miles on it, great compression. If I knew how to post pics I would- its a nice old bike. I APPRECIATE your help! dave
