    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...

    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.

82 GS750 idle problems

Hey everybody!

Brand new to this website, but have found plenty of good answers already!

I recently purchased my first bike! A beautiful '82 GS750. I cleaned the carbs, replaced the jets with larger sizes, added pods on to the bike and am transforming it into a caf? racer. It used to bog down because it was running real lean, but have since fixed that with the jets. The only problem happening now is that the bike idles really high (around 3,000 - 4,000 RPMs) while I'm riding and holding the clutch down. After coming to a stop, it will continue to idle high in neutral. I've played with the idle adjustment screw, and also with loosening the throttle cable, but can't seem to drop those RPMs. Weird thing is when I first start it up, it runs around 2,000 RPMs. Just in the process of riding does it skyrocket. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix it, or figure out what may be wrong?

Appreciate any help I can get!
Thank ya!

Funny thing is, if it's like mine ('82 1100E), it's supposed to idle extremely high on cold start with full choke.

Yeah, air is leaking somewhere!
