    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.

Sputter and bog when hot - help please

Howdy. 79 gs1000. Pods. V&H 4 into 1.

Bike has been set up that way for 7 years. Always ran great at all air temps and regardless of engine temp.

Today started running just just as always. Zipped through traffic and zoomed down the freeway.

After being caught in stop & go traffic on 90 degree day, started sputtering and popping. Bogged with any throttle other than light. Felt very hot.

Parked the bike for 2 hours. Started right up and took off. After about 5 minutes, same symptoms. Got it home but had a difficult time maintaining 70mph. Jerk, sputter, pop, fart.

I will check plugs tomorrow, but can you all please let me know if you have experienced similar trouble and the cure?

thanks very much in advance.
 
Well, I'd check the valves. And be sure to follow the factory specified method, not the "point the cam lobe away from the bucket" method.

A plugged up fuel cap vent may be contributing to the issue. Sounds like a vapor locking issue.
