    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.

Ok...So, I cannot find a stock air boot for a 82 650GL. I did find an 81 though, but....I'm not sure whether it fits. I'm working that angle, but on first inspection...I don't think it does.

I have heard I can use regular air filters and just rejet the bike.

But.....

Is rejetting hard? Are there instructions someplace to do it. I'm afraid if I don't...I'll never get the bike to run. :(
 
Don't even think about not using the stock airbox - you clearly don't have the jetting know-how. Even many "experts" recommend not deviating from the stock set-up. If you proceed anyway, you'll be forced to become an expert through trial-and-error.
 
i did replace stock airbox on a 1980 gs1100 stock exhaust with 4 filterpod and i have a hard time tuning it until i buy a dynojet kit. when you remove the stock airbox you increase the airflow ,the huge stock needle cant supply enough gas to match increased airflow. you dont have to change idle circuit jetting, only the needle and main jet and drill a passage in the slide.now it is working very well
good luck
 
If I cannot find an air box....Then I have 2 options:

1) Sell the bike as parts.
2) Rejet.
 
If you look on Bike Bandit, the 81GL and the 82GL carry the same part numbers. So I suspect that it will fit if it came from a GL model.
If you choose to go with pods, and thus need to rejet, check with wiredgeorge at http://www.wgcarbs.com/
He will offer advice for free as far as settings.
Jets and such are available at http://www.z1enterprises.com/
