    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.

i have a 1982 suzuki gs1100e with a vance and hines race pipe and pod filters. (it was already this way when i bought the bike). I was told the bike has been jetted. runs great and i have been running it like this for three seasons. i just bought k&n pod filters and when i installed them my bike did not like it at all. they are about the same size but do have a wider opening.
(when i say that i mean that the pod filters where they fit over the carb have
a smaller diameter going into the filters) do i need to look into jetting? could it be that i just had oiled the filters and thats what my problem really was?

I bought my '82 1100e six months ago with V&H pipe, standard airbox missing it's lid. It ran great, but 'popped' a lot on deceleration, a sign, I was told, of overly lean mixture.

When I installed APE pods (K&N knockoffs), it didn't run nice at all until I taped over about 90% of the air filters. (Then it pulled fine to redline.)

It's at a shop being jetted on a dynamometer now, I pick her up tomorrow.
