155/152.5 main jets
Needles are up 1.2mm
Idle fuel screws out 2 1/2 turns
K&N pods
V&H 4into1
Float height factory
Valves are set at the high end of tolerance
I'm in Denver CO
So far there is no issue at all with idle or 4,500-redline, mid range is being sluggish
I was told to try and block the airport on the intake side of the carb that is on the right side (opposite of the air meter jet), I used some cork and did that and there was a very noticeable positive difference.
So my plan to take care of the mid range is: raise the needles another .2mm+ and block off the secondary air ports with something more permanent than cork.
4" foam pods
stock exhaust, opened up some by drilling (6) 5/16 holes around the exit center
stock idle jetting
air jets at 3-1/2 turns
mains 127.5
needles raised with fine washers until eliminated midrange bog
starts & runs like a champ great off idle jump to midrange
slightly bothered upper end acceleration depending where my legs are, midsets or highway pegs, due to turbulence around outer pods.
planning on making a shield to kill the turbulence factor on each side. Runs really well anyway.

****FINALLY!!!!!****
155/152.5 main jets
Needles are up 1.5mm (two small washers on top of needle) ***As of 9/13/19 I'm up 2mm on the needle, 1 shim washer on top of the e-clip, pulls hard***
Idle fuel screws out 2 1/2 turns +/-
K&N pods
V&H 4into1
Float height factory
Valves are set at the high end of tolerance
Used 4 DynoJet 4mm air jet plug (right side air port opposite of the jet on air intake side) Part #DC0301 $2 each
Installing the Dynojet plugs made a huge difference
Engine and any mods done: ‘83 cams set 105/107
Type of exhaust: V&H 4-1 supersport
Type of airbox/pods: K&N pods
Type of carbs: gs1150 BS36
Carb settings: gs1100 factory pro needles 4th clip from the top; 152.5 main jets, 47.5 pilot jets, 170 air jets (125 stock on the 1150 - this cured an off idle transition stumble)
Fuel level: 5mm from carb body (3mm stock on 1150)
Elevation: 750’
How the bike runs with this setup: Pulls hard to redline, wheel starts to lift about 6.5k. Feels a little rough at low speed cruise between 3k and 4K - various throttle positions.... so maybe pipe.
