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.

I have yet to get my bike running but I know I'll need a re-jet since I'm running pod filters and strait pipes. Someone recommended the Dyno-jet stage 3 kit. Anyone have a similar setup? Right now the stupid thing won't even fire up lol but it should at least run, even poorly, without the re-jetting....right?

Thanks- John

Hi Mr. 80GS,

If the fuel/air mixture is excessively lean then it might not fire up at all. You might need to go up four or five sizes on the mains and a couple on the pilots. Ride testing, plug chops, and reading the plugs will tell you when you have it right. Let me share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

For pods and header I start at 3 or 4 sizes up mains (from stock), up needle 1mm, drill slide 1 size, and leave stock pilot and mixture screw. This is just a start so you can jet check (chop) plugs for fine-tuning.
 
purchase st.3 jet kit/follow instructions 100%/enjoy the results!
FYI
if you are going to purchase a 30 dollar set of filters.... disregard my above comments and continue pulling your hair out as GS CV carbs will never be able to be tuned correctly without a st.3 kit and good filters when the air box is removed.
