    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...

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.

1978 spare change suzi Q project......

you guys really are a kind crowd around here and i thank you for the support! the KZ1000 project was a 1978 kz1000 which i bought from a customer. his father actually bought the bike from the LA police department when it was decommissioned in the early 80's. i told my customer that since the bike had some kind of sentimental value i would give it a good second life but try to keep it connected to it's roots. i made it look like a police bike but just my interpretation of it with all the lights and sirens ect. i think one of my youtube videos actually shows the light and sirens working.
 
hi guys just wanted to post one last pic of this project. we had a few bugs to work out with with the carbs and the cold starting. it would take alot to get past the studdering when the bike was cold but we fixed it with new plugs, new jets ect. this weekend we went on the bikes first good maiden voyage around the lake by my house. the bike ran like a champ with the exception on some farting on the higher rpm range. it will prolly need bigger main jets. other than that i was on my sporty and i wasn't able to shake my friend. damn little suzu Q loves jammin down the road!!

You might need a Dynojet kit to correct for the airbox removal. The tapered needles in the kit help to rectify that lean condition causing your problem..
 
sorry i haven't come back to answer, i just been busy riding. i will look into those dyno jets. we fixed the problem regarding the cold start ups and bogging until the bike warmed up but we still experiencing bogging when the bike takes off from stand still. other than that she runs like a champ
