    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

My 81 gs550t has little power on the low rpm and backfires every once in a while, i also have an exhaust leak on carb 3 but it does not backfire out those pipes, what are my options, btw everything on the bike is OEM stock
 
Adjust the valves and replace the needed shims
FULL teardown and rebuild of carbs
Replace the intake manifold Orings
New plugs
Find the tutorial on replacing the wires
Check the plug boots for cracking
You know..ALL the basic tune up and maintenance..and never assume a previous owner did anything unless you personally know them or trust they did.
Look at Bikecliffs Website and get a free service manual download.......

I have done all that already, I'm at the tuning stage now, would the mixture screws help any?
