    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.

    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.

On my overflowing carbs, are you saying I need new needle and seat combinations?
I can't afford $300 right now, sadly

Any idea of what float needle size the 78 takes? I see JetsRUs has 5 different sizes

My gs850 started making a tick tick sound, is it trying to talk to me or about to ask for expensive parts?

As the saying goes " I was a normal person 3 Rottweilers ago " . This also applies to my love of Japanese bikes. Especially Suzuki as I worked in a distributorship in the early 80s . I started riding bikes at 17 and stopped when wife and kids and a career came along. In my late 50s I got the bug again and began sourcing " barn-finds to save" . This has become somewhat of a passion. Currently, my 1981 GS850G is my main interest all be it a frustrating one. At 71 I am still stripping them down and rebuilding.

Just purchased a GSX250E from the early eighties. I had one in my late teens and am now old enough to be sufferingt from nostalgia.
The bike I bought appears to have been registered in 1984 but looks very much like a 1980/81 model. The highlight of the bike is that the engine starts ... after that its all downhill. I intend trying to get it back to roadworthiness, but I not a mechanic / engineer etc. I have a lot to learn :-)

Ron, I think you may have a different appreciation of teachers than I do. I've been doing this, with a five or so year break early on to dip my toes in law enforcement, since 1994, and I've taught at every level from university and college down to 5th grade. Teachers don't march in lock step to any set of orders in any reasonably well established school system, though in recent years, with the righteous hue and cry raised against education by the right, more are either simply putting their heads down and counting the days until retirement or outright leaving the profession.

I'm not certain what aspect of diversity, equity and inclusion has somehow horrified you, but it would be helpful to discuss an actual issue rather than some sort of nebulous philosophical notion.

Cheers

Hi - the post is a couple years old, but I'm hoping that you're still selling the oring kits - I have a 1979 GS550L with the VM carbs and would like to purchase a kit for these carbs. Please let me know how I can get them.
Thanks

Are you still selling an o-ring kits? I've got some GS1000EN carbs I'm going through, VM I believe. If so, can you give me information? Pat

I see you have or had a ZRX1100… I sold mine before moving here. Was a 1999. I’d installed ZX11 cams and semi-downdraft carbs on it, was pretty quick. Believe it or not, one of my twin boys learned to ride on it, and was then riding way too fast on it. My wife was glad to see it go. Frank

at 70 yr. old, all my bikes need to go, but there;s an individual reason I like each of them... If I get around to getting rid of them, I'm pretty sure the ZRX will stay... Only neg. I've ever had with it, WHY THE HECK NO CENTER STAND ??????? Changing rear tire, for me, is a huge pain in the butt. What did they gain by not having one???

Hi, Keith. Just read your message, I will phone you tomorrow Friday. I don't race but have had fair results with carbs in the past. I did a set for Tony Alderson from Sunderland, he was very happy with them. I live in Birtley so not far from you.
Regards, Dennis.

Hello all, I’ve seen a few post on here with the similar questions, I just finished putting together a 1979 GS750 and took it out for my first few rides, runs good at low speeds, mid range breaks up a tone and is barely drivable and one you dig through the mid range it lights up and pulls great at high range. The guy I bought it from build a set of headers that are baffled inside and dump straight down from the exhaust ports to the ground (comes out the front of the motor turns down into two separate two to one headers and dumps straight down) no mid pipes of muffler. The bike also has pod filters. I’m dreading the fact that I will be battling air to fuel and jetting issues moving forward. Carbs are clean. Any thoughts on the best way forward. I haven’t touched any tuning yet as I’m reading others issues with different exhaust and carb filter issues
