    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...

    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.

I have an 82 gs 550L with mikuni bs32ss carbs. My Haynes and my chilton manual don't have pilotscrew setting that i can find. I searched this site and saw three settings 1.5, 2 and 3.5 turns. Anybody have a definitive setting? Thanks
 
I have the same carbs (BS32mm). On my bike it depends on cylinder, but can be anywhere from 1/2 to 1-3/4 turns.

If you're starting from scratch, I'd just say start with 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns out all all 4 and start reading plugs whenever you get a chance. Fine tune from there according to what the plugs tell you.
 
On my'83 850L, the factory settings were..2 1/4 turns out on the 2 inboard cylinders (2 and 3), and the 2 outboard cylinders (1 and 4) were completely seated. I matched the outboard cylinders to the inboard settings. The results were less choke time needed, slightly better off idle throttle response.
 
here you go i'll give the the straight talk, not to step on anyones toes, the factory manuel sez they need to be 3.5 out this is the setting i used on my 81 550t and it worked beautifuly, btw the 81 and the 82 550 are the exact same motor and carb so these setting will work on your bike too, i'm runing a stage 3 jet kit for a 82 550 kat on my bike and it works fine, like i said same motor same carb.
