    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.

Any modification of the stock intake or exhaust will require jetting changes.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Does anyone here personally have a gs850 with the Vance and Hines headers and single muffler its a 4 into 1
 
I do. On a 1982 GS850GL. In Western Kentucky. :)


I also have K&N Pods.

I just finished rebuilding the carbs and correcting all of the stuff the PO had done before. I also replaced the intake boots and o-rings. This is a have to step if you want the bike to run right. It will cause all kinds of problems.

The PO didn't do this on my bike and it cause him to do some CRAZY stuff with the carbs. Did I say CRAZY?

You can check out what I have done so far on my rebuild link in my sig.
 
all right, i just went and tried to mess with the bike some and low and behold it done the same thing as before run like a dead dog, but then i took off the stock air box and it came to life, what would cause this and can i use pods instead of my box for this condition
 
on the CV Carbs of these bikes is it required for there to be a rubber plug over top of the pilot jet in the carb for them to run properly

Yes. www.Z1enterprises.com will have them if you are missing them.

If you have a camera post some pictures of the carbs and bike as well. That will help us see what you see and point things out easier.

It sounds to me like you really need to take the carbs off, separate them, and go through a complete cleaning and replace the o-rings. Use the tutorial on the site. I would start there and also replace the intake boots and o-rings. Anything else you do without doing this will only have the same results you are experiencing now.

Pretty cool that we have the exact same bike.
