    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.

Anyone ever use 6sigmajetkit.com?

Thanks; I didn't know that. Again, guess I was lucky. I don't think I'll go this route again on the E bike, keeping changes to an absolute minimum.

Did you end up using anything from the 6sigma kit? I'm looking at a kit for my 1980 GS550. I can get jets for less than the $80 they want for their kit, so I'm really wondering if the rest of the kit was useful. The kit I'm looking at says it comes with:


  • Main Jets
  • Pilot Jets
  • Needle Adjusters
  • Nylon Needle Spacers
  • Slide Spring Modification
  • Drill Bits for
  • Slide Hole Modification (optional)
  • Idle Mixture Modification
  • Tuning Tech
  • Bike Specs
  • Carb Schematic
  • Carb Synchronizer Tool (how to build for $5)
  • Step by step instructions with photos for ease of installation.
  • Installation Support - If you need assistance we are there for you.

What is a "slide spring modification" or "idle mixture modification"? Also, was the "slide hole modification" optional on your kit? Kind of scared there is no turning back from that one.

Hope this thread isn't totally dead yet.
 
The slide spring modification is clipping the spring on one end so it is shorter. This allows the slide to move quicker and thus improve acceleration. The idle mixture modification is just adjusting the idle mixture screw out. The slide hole modification is optional. But make sure the drill bit is straight. Mine was not straight. I sent feedback to the seller and they suggested that it got bent in shipping...
 
Did you have positive results from the kit? Other kits that seem to come with new needles and some sort of air jet corrector I think it was called. I read somewhere else online that someone said they saw the most gain from the needles being changed.
 
Cutting the spring increases spring rate. That would slow the rise of the slide.
