    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.

Bike dies out coming to a stop

Ok, I got a GS650. Pulled the carbs and they look really clean. Bike starts right up, idles around 1200RPMs. I've replace the petcock(new) and vacuum and gas hoses and new choke cable. So when I down shift to slow down at a light or stop sigh she dies out. I've read a few post and it sounds like maybe a airbox leak? Air filter is really clean. I've jacked up the throttle a little bit but not sure this is a good thing. Any other suggestions?
 
Pulled the air box out and carbs out. Checked the intake boots and all the o-rings look good and the manifold boots look pretty good. The middle boots going into the airbox are kinda beat so I've order new ones. I'm going to put weatherstripping on the air box cover as the old stuff is pretty much gone. Other than that everything else looks good. Better than I expected.

I'm thinking that the Petcock is not working right when its in the "ON" position. The petcock is brand new but I gotta check the vacuum coming out of Carb 2.
