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.

Hi there! I have a 80 GS1100E I bought it this year It had 38000KM and lots of power!!! SWEET POWER now I have 47000KM on it and It dosn't have the power get up and go that is and a slight vibration from the engine at cruising speed 3800RPM. I was wondering if it could just use a carb sync! or dose any one have any insight!! any help would be great thanks I LOVE THIS Bike!!! :? :? :?
 
May just need a full tune, valve clearence's, clean air fliter, check for air leak's between the carby's and head,spark plug's, then a carb sync.
In that order.
My bet is that's all you will need, but if the problem still remain's there's plenty of 1100 guy's here that can point you in the right direction.
 
I would start with a compression test & valve adjustment
 
I just ran a tank with carb cleaner in it on the highway the bike runs alot better!! how often should a guy put a carb kit in??
 
Never mind the carb kit, just ride to BC and back once a year. That'll tune it(and you) up! :lol: :lol:
 
I would love to ride out to BC just don't have the time in the summer lots of weekend trips though! I have 9000KM this summer

The 80 GS1100s have a pressed on crank, depending how hard you rev and ride the engine, some where known to slip and cause some vides and the timing to change some. Check out the other things list by the other readers plus this. the only cure for the crank is to break down the engine have the crank trued and the end welded.
