    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've got an 82 GS850 GL, and I'm contemplating the idea of removing the stock air box and installing new individual filters for each carb, of course I'm gonna have to rejet the carbs(which im not really looking forward to...) I just can't stand the look of that god ugly stock airbox wich they try to spice up with a little chrome triangle...

with the box removed the engine and bike in general just look so "clean" that it repulses me to have to re-install it, My main questions are: will i be asking for trouble if i do this? Will the bike be as dependable after? Will i need to look into cams...ect. ?




P.S. this site rocks!!!
 
if you do pods (individual filters) you wont have to reinstall the airbox
 
Yes, you will definitely have to re-jet the carbs. No, you will not "have to look into cams" or anything else.

The amount of trouble that this will cause will depend greatly on how far off the jetting is and how hard you run the bike before it is correctly jetted. By installing the pods, you will be running lean and that is definitely not good for the engine.

Dynojet has a jet kit for all 850's. Ifyou install it with the pods you will have no trouble with tuning assuming you're already synchronized with clean carbs and valves adjusted, etc.
