    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...

VM29 Smoothbores on GS1000

Do they really make that much of a difference on my GS1000 compared to the stock ones? I don't know, because I haven't got the parts in yet to finish rebuilding them. I know they were dirty, and the bike was running terribly in the mid range of throttle. Keep in mind I have only had the bike for about 3 weeks now. I am pretty sure that the bike will run good after reinstalling them all cleaned up with new rubber parts, and with the pod filters cleaned and oiled. But I don't have a stock baseline, so if anyone can chime in that has ridden a GS1000 with/without them, I would appreciate a comparison. Thanks.
 
Hey Ray how do you tell what size VM carbs you have? I have VM carbs on my gs1000, I also have a rack of CV carbs off another GS1000 will they interchange? Which is the better carbs for regular riding? I'm not real fast, more of a sight see'er.

You will see a HUGE difference in mid range & top end power with the 29s. Ray.

Hmmm, sounds like they are worth keeping. I was thinking of just getting a stock set, and install a Dynojet kit. I don't think so now. Thanks Ray!:D
 
My 1000S came with VM29's when I bought it. Took them off, rebuilt them all pretty, and sold them on ebay for more than $600. Found some stock BS34's (stock on my particular bike) and put the extra cash into my restoration fund.

My opinion is to stay with the stock carbs unless you have a modified engine and want to run the bike hard. For more sedate types, the smoothbores are a waste of money in my opinion.
 
smoke them if you gotten, if they came with the bike run them, they will work great, espeacily if you have a 4 into 1
