    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.

It can be done. It takes two people. It's a pain...but I've done it before.
 
Ran into the exact same problem recently. It was just easier, to pull the carbs back and attach it. Not fun, but I didn't see any workable way to do it without risking damage to the cable without pulling the carbs back from the intake boots. Sorry. I know it sucks.

Yup I feel like this is the best way. Seems I'm not alone in this, maybe we should start a GS650 carburetor support club?

:eek::eek:

Both routes will send your emotions through the roof, but the frustration from trying to squeeze the carbs in can just about make a grown man cry. :p
 
The deed has been done. I just loosened the clamps on the intake boots and the main clamp that connects the air box to the filter housing, slid everything back and that gave just enough room to get in there and connect things. I feel like I've done this so many times now.

Oh and I'll be doing it again in like a week when the new intake boots I ordered arrive :clap:
