    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.

    1981 GS 650 Carb Compatibility

    550 carbs use different jets, emulsion tubes and needes. 550 CV's can work but jetting could be complicated, there is a MAJOR difference in the 550 / 650 needles and emulsion tubes, 550 were drasticly more tapper in the needles and a shielded emulsion tube top. If using 550 carbs I'd start with...

    1980 550L - Pods + 4into1

    https://www.mikuni.com/pdf/vmmanual.pdf Useful theory when jetting is required, it's for VM's but CV theory is similar, exception being vacuum pulls the slides up rather than a cable. In the early 80's raising the needle was the shortcut to lean pilot jets, all it did was allow main jet siphon...

    rebuild - Crankshaft and gearbox oil seals GS 550 1979 + clutch pushrod verisons ?
