    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.

I have an '82 gs 750e, I was thinking about putting on a 4 into 1 exhaust.I've heard about rejetting the carbs when you do this, how hard is this to do and do I have to remove the carbs to do this.my bike is running a little lean anyway,I see some people talk about turning the screws in or out,these mikuni carbs are pre set at the factory,how do you do that? Thanx Gurus. (wassup Rapidray!):confused:
 
if you remove the air box and go with individual filter(NOT EMGO'S) you will need a st.3 jet kit as the GS vacuum carbs can not be jetted to perform properly with out the special needles(st.3 jet kit).

It is easiest to remove the carbs;

Main jets swap out from the bottom;
Needles can be adjusted with carbs still in place as you unscrew teh caps from above to get to teh dampers.

With carbs off and while you are in there:
Recheck the float levels.
Double check other pilot jets (no need to strip them but if you can get them to budge is best) to make sure no one has swapped them out.

General cleaning (spray out the ports/passages) with carb cleaner spray never hurt.

Thanx posplayr,that makes sense,I only figured that I had a heck of a time getting the carbs back on when I replaced the starter,I wouldn't bother goin' thru that again.Maybe I'll just leave it stock and pick up a nice GS 1100 like u got! She's a beauty.Why rebuild when u can just by buy bigger and faster,especially since there are so many people willing to let these beautiful machines go for peanuts!They don't know what their giving up!;)

Your bike looks nice, but you will never mistake an 1100 for a 750 after you ride one :). The is a clean 1166 ED for sale right now in LA for $2400 I think. That is stupid cheap when you consider what it takes to reproduce something like that.
