    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.

What could this be ?

Done Shimming

Done Shimming

The Shimming went very well. Radio Shack had the washers. I only had a chance to take it on a short ride. It seems much better. I want to turn the Airscrews in a bit now. So far it acts like it may be cured. Makes me wonder why the factory put those fat fiber washers in there. Maybe they swell up over time.:)

In my experience if you have to go out that many turns you need a larger pilot jet.

Thats what I thought was wrong so, I just kept opening the Airscrews farther and farther. I'm going to back them down some now.
 
More trouble

More trouble

I rode about 25 miles after needle shim job. It ran the best it ever has. The airscrews were out 4 and 3/4. turns. When I got home I screwed them in and backed them out to 3 turns. Now it won't Idle at all and starts hard. If I choke it about 1/2 it starts but dies if I pull it up or push it down. It will rev and run above 2000RPM. The longer I own this GS1000 bike, the better I like my GS500. I'm just mad now:mad: 1 and 3/4 turns make that much difference?
 
Sorry never mind

Sorry never mind

I'm a MORON, turning idle knob the wrong way. :D sorry
 
The fact that you admit your mistakes means you are not a moron... you just learn from errors...but turning idle the wrong way?:rolleyes:
